Hi, In debugging a shutdown issue I came across a bug [1] that indicates for us to get better logs [2] during shutdown we really need to make the systemd journal persistent. We would also need to remove rsyslog by default so we don't have duplicate writing of logs to disk.
Aside from shutdown logs we also get a lot of other nice metadata. For instance, you can ask for all the logs since a certain date. You can trivially view the logs from 2 boots ago. The negative is it is in a binary format and you have to use journalctl to read it. I'm sure I missed some positives/negatives. Thoughts on doing this for Zesty? To try it out: sudo mkdir /var/log/journal reboot twice and now you can view old boots (journalctl --list-boots) (then optionally) apt-get remove rsyslog Kind regards, Bryan [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1618188 [2] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23776783/ -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
