My log still going well.

I just read this:
https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=55922#p237310

"You can try adding Compress=no to /etc/systemd/journald.conf but it 
won't help with existing files - those will need to be purged and deleted."

You may try it as work around before the fix come out.
