Should be kept in a subdir in there, from:

http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/repos/mainline/blobs/cbd0509f4bcfe1b3e52f8898b1cb83d522337ab8/src/logsmanager.py#line25

But anyway, the failure to read the DS would be in the first boot
where the journal appears empty, not in the boot where the DS index
got corrupted.

Tomeu
