It has something to do with systemd's log thingy.
The error only appears in one place in the syslog-ng source,
in modules/systemd-journal/journal-reader.c:
static inline gboolean
__seek_to_saved_state(JournalReader *self)
{
JournalReaderState *state =
persist_state_map_entry(self->persist_state, self->persist_handle);
gint rc = journald_seek_cursor(self->journal, state->cursor);
persist_state_unmap_entry(self->persist_state, self->persist_handle);
if (rc != 0)
{
msg_warning("Failed to seek to the cursor",
evt_tag_str("cursor", state->cursor),
evt_tag_errno("error", errno),
NULL);
return __seek_to_head(self);
}
journald_next(self->journal);
return TRUE;
}
First step would appear to be to check systemd's built-in log thingy
