Subject: journalctl: use root machine ID for namespaces
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3121e14658e98b8fe665f3d6c53fc0dcd12fb461;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

journalctl: use root machine ID for namespaces

journalctl --root=... --list-namespaces scans the target root's
journal tree, but used the host machine ID when matching namespace
directories.

Reproducer:
  root="$(mktemp -d)"
  mid=11111111111111111111111111111111
  mkdir -p "$root/etc" "$root/var/log/journal/$mid.testns"
  printf '%s\n' "$mid" >"$root/etc/machine-id"
  journalctl --root="$root" --list-namespaces --quiet

Before:
  no output

Follow-up for: 68f66a171398e27280a95e58ae7464219cccaaec.
