Public bug reported:
My journal is filling up with logs like this:
Feb 03 19:33:10 arc systemd[8685]: Failed to open /dev/pts device,
ignoring: Inappropriate ioctl for device
There are dozens to hundreds of this exact message per service started.
Many originate from PID 1, others from the user system instances.
That appear to be originating from systemd itself:
