Hello everybody,

Somehting is causing /bin/journalctl --flush to hang on some new and 
existing installations of on CentOS Stream release 8

# journalctl --disk-usage
Archived and active journals take up 8.0M in the file system.
# journalctl --verify
PASS: /run/log/journal/48651cee389b4600bf559fb29d1c2066/system.journal

# /usr/bin/journalctl --flush
^C

Do other users have this as well and is there a fix or update pending?

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong
