Hi
I hope this can help. In /var/adm is logfile or messages from root when I'm correct. Look at "wtmpx" file this logfile for the "last" command. You can copy it when set it to 0. BUT Don't remove it. This file can get big..
Some info ....
The utmpx and wtmpx files are extended database files that
have superseded the obsolete utmp and wtmp database files.
The utmpx database contains user access and accounting
information for commands such as who(1), write(1), and
login(1). The wtmpx database contains the history of user
access and accounting information for the utmpx database.
I hope this helps you I had the same problem. And the set everything to 0 was ok. But if dont save it you can never check the access and accounting.

systemd-volatile-root.service
SYSTEMD-VOLATILE-ROOT.SERVICE(8) systemd-volatile-root.service SYSTEMD-VOLATILE-ROOT.SERVICE(8)
NAME
systemd-volatile-root.service, systemd-volatile-root - Make the root file system volatile
SYNOPSIS
systemd-volatile-root.service
/lib/systemd/systemd-volatile-root
DESCRIPTION
systemd-volatile-root.service is a service that replaces the root directory with a volatile memory file system ("tmpfs"), mounting the
original (non-volatile) /usr inside it read-only. This way, vendor data from /usr is available as usual, but all configuration data in
/etc, all state data in /var and all other resources stored directly under the root directory are reset on boot and lost at shutdown,
enabling fully stateless systems.
This service is only enabled if full volatile mode is selected, for example by specifying "systemd.volatile=yes" on the kernel command
line. This service runs only in the initial RAM disk ("initrd"), before the system transitions to the host's root directory. Note that this
service is not used if "systemd.volatile=state" is used, as in that mode the root directory is non-volatile.
