this crap belongs to /var/log/dracut.log and not the general syslog

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2014-01-22 10:51:00 UTC
This was a requested feature, so /var/log/dracut.log can be dropped and the systemd journal is the central place to look at.

Although there is a bug in the dracut logger, which leads to "<prio>" not be parsed by systemd-cat.

Comment 2 Harald Reindl 2014-01-22 11:01:08 UTC
well, that leads in very large and cluttered logs
at the end you do not face the few interesting lines
i worked around with own rsyslog-rules

in general the amount of log-lines in systemd get extreme
there are *way too* much lines for a simple SSH login

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2014-04-02 08:37:08 UTC
You can still set in a /etc/dracut.conf.d/logging.conf:

logfile=/var/log/dracut.log
sysloglvl=0

Comment 4 Harald Reindl 2014-04-02 10:23:03 UTC
that is a really bad transition and system defaults should refelct the usage of rsyslog instead force admins to change every bit of configuration only because rsyslog is no longer default
