This replaces the 'systemd.journald.storage=volatile' kernel argument with 'systemd.mask=systemd.journal-flush.service', masking the service responsible for switching to persistent storage. Commit a6fadf6 introduced the argument 'systemd.journald.storage=volatile' with the intent of keeping the journal in memory for performance. However, this is not supported by current systemd versions, and is simply ignored. The systemd documentation points out that journald will always use volatile storage initially, and the switch to persistent storage is done automatically by the 'systemd-journal-flush.service' if so configured. Masking this service keeps storage volatile. Closes: bootc-dev#316 Signed-off-by: Renato Caldas <renato@silkmicro.com>
