[Buildroot] journald broken

[Camden Mannett]

My mistake, the 'Volatile' value should have been lower-case.  It works as
expected now.

Running journalctl results in:

No journal files were found.
-- No entries --

And there is indeed no /var/log/journal directory.  According to dmesg, the
service seems to have started successfully:

As you can see there is an error regarding a corrupted journal (this was
the first boot, so there was unlikely to be a journal to load), but it was
apparently replaced - where I don't know as there's no /var/log/journal
directory.

I've seen an old related bug #7892, and the solution was to set the
'Storage' key to 'Volatile' in journald.conf.  However that has not worked
for me.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
