And the log entries are present in the systemd journal, so I wasn't imagining that they once existed.
What the hell? I just discovered that multiple days of syslog log entries in /var/log disappeared after a reboot. I know they were there.

@thatcks Systemd decided they were redundant and deleted them for you? Or mounted /dev/shm atop /var/log? -
@oclsc It's more mysterious. The files are there, but entries jump from April 2nd or so to April 9th with the stuff in the middle vanished. -
@thatcks Oh, wow. What distro? -
@oclsc Fedora 21. This is the first time I've noticed it happening. All the explanations are spooky. -
@thatcks Has system been rebooted multiple times since install (is there something unusual about that particular run of uptime)? - View other replies

@oclsc It's my office workstation and it's been rebooted once between now and the last entries.

Oh. Of course. The syslog entries didn't disappear; systemd just barfed a huge amount of old ones up during a reboot.

So my syslog entries go Apr 9 -> huge mass of old log lines -> Apr 9th again and I didn't go back far enough to see the pre-reboot 9th ones.
