Title:
  all journalctl logs their "Log begin" decrease

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Every night we setup 3 ubuntu 16.04 environments and we test our software on it.
  This morning something weird caught my eye while debugging our software.

  On 1 of the 3 machines I tried to search logging of the day before but
  I could not find any.

  When I first looked at a journalctl unit log of process `x` (for example), I saw the logs started at:
  `-- Logs begin at Thu 2016-10-27 05:18:01 CEST, end at Thu 2016-10-27 10:22:37 CEST. --`
  I found this very weird because the logs should have started around `Wed 2016-10-26 22:00:00 CEST`

  After some time I looked again at the journalctl unit log of process `x` but this time the logs started @:
  `-- Logs begin at Thu 2016-10-27 06:04:31 CEST, end at Thu 2016-10-27 10:29:31 CEST. --`

  I've checked if the nodes were rebooted, ntp was misconfigured or
  maybe the disk was full but I could not find anything.

  This affects the whole system, so its not a certain process in
  particular.
