So, at which stage are you in w/ regards to adopting systemd? Are you
still ridiculing it, violently opposed to it, or have you mellowed to it?
Thanks for all those that responded. systemd still appears to be a sore
topic.
systemd is still coping a whole lot of ridicule but not so violent
opposition. Can't say I understand why, but you can't please all of the
people all of the time!
Quick comments to some issues identified in the conversation:
=============================================================
There are several responses siting poor documentation but I can't fault
the documentation; there's plenty of it and the man pages are quite well
structured - man -k --names-only systemd
Also, there's a lot of people moving to FreeBSD - but it appears that
the grass isn't greener there either as they are now trialling OpenRC.
One issue I resolved quickly after installing CentOS 7 was to revert to
ethx for interface names and to install iptables and remove firewalld.
The other occassional issue I have is where restarting services takes a
seriously long time and I've discovered that restarting
`systemd-logind.service, dbus.service, and polkit.service resolves this,
albeit for a short period before it crops up again *[0]*.
In closing:
###########
There are conspiracy theories out there that the NSA is involved with
bringing systemd to Linux so they can have easy access to *"unknown"*
bugs - aka backdoors - to all Linux installations using systemd *[1]*.
I guess anything goes now that Edward Snowden has educated us all - for
better or worse.
Thanks again to all respondents - I quite enjoyed the read - I did read
all responses.
Regards,
ak.
