+ <literal>volatile</literal>,
+ <literal>permanent</literal>,

+ <literal>none</literal>. If
+ <literal>volatile</literal> journal
+ log data will be stored only in
+ memory, i.e. below the
+ <filename>/run/log/journal</filename>
+ hierarchy (which is created if
+ needed). If
+ <literal>permanent</literal> data will
+ be stored preferably on disk,
+ i.e. below the
+ <filename>/var/log/journal</filename>
+ hierarchy (which is created if
+ needed), with a fallback to
+ <filename>/run/log/journal</filename>
+ (which is created if needed), during
+ early boot and if the disk is not
+ writable. <literal>auto</literal> is
+ similar to
+ <literal>permanent</literal> but the
+ directory
+ <filename>/var/log/journal</filename>
+ is not created if needed, so that its
+ existance controls where log data
+ goes. <literal>none</literal> turns
+ off all storage, all log data received
+ will be dropped. Forwarding to other
+ targets, such as the console, the
+ kernel log buffer or a syslog daemon
+ will still work however. Defaults to
+ <literal>auto</literal>.</para></listitem>
