journalctl --boot prints log lines since boot and journalctl --follow prints the last 10 lines of the log and then follows it. But journalctl --boot --follow doesn't work like I expect it to. Rather than printing all the journal lines since boot and then following the journal it just ignores --boot flag. Swapping the flags around makes no difference. How do I print all the log lines since boot and then follow the log?

Adding
--lines=alldoes the trick - rather than overriding--bootthey work together to follow lines since boot.
