Description of problem: In the following sentence: "In previous releases, journal data was stored in <filename>/var/run/journal</filename>, which is volatile and cleared on reboot." Should "which is volatile..." be written in the past tense? Does it mean "which was volatile..."? I'm sorry if I misunderstand the sentence. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F19
The tense change is a little confusing, but intentional. The clause "which is volatile and cleared on reboot" applies to the object that precedes it, "/var/run/journal". So, while the journal data is no longer stored in /var/log/journal, it remains volatile. Actually, it is a symlink to /run, which is a tmpfs volume by default; but, I think that was covered in previous release notes.
