Hello, I've just set up a new system and have noticed a problem with journalctl where it appears to be reading from the incorrect journal. The journal is running and I can direct it at the correct file using -D, but I don't understand what is happening. There is a journal in /run/log/journal whic

Re: [systemd-devel] unit symlinks ignored (archlinux mkinitcpio)

Archlinux uses a 'mkinitcpio' script to create the initramfs image file. This copies files into a working directory which it then archives. The problem with this is that files which were symlinks are not in the copy. If the initramfs uses systemd then this is a potential problem. This isn't a sys

[systemd-devel] How to prevent an initramfs service from being stopped at switch-root ?

I have some services in my initramfs that unlock some crypto volumes to make the root and some other filesystems available. Looking at the journal, I can see that the initramfs (at switch-root time) tries to kill these services but this fails because the filesystems are mounted by this point. I wo
