I believe this one affects RHEL7 too - judging from bug #1006386 comment #29 I believe this is systemd-journald design flaw I managed to break my testing installation (beyond my ability to repair, bug #1029527) so I cannot provide exact numbers now, but if I recall correctly, the boot took 20 - 25 seconds with several services blamed to take more than ten or twelve seconds after doing a fresh install, the machine booted in 12.5 seconds the testing procedure consisted of writing random things to logs for some tenths of hours (with pauses in between to workaround rate limiting and to become a bit closer to the real world example where I saw this problem on Fedora) note that simply "mkdir /var/log/journal ; reboot" is enough to get data written to it, systemd-journald runs by default also note that these numbers are from a virtual machine run on a host with SSD and plenty of RAM, real hardware could be much slower (if I get it right that it accesses many 4 KiB blocks on disk) +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1006386 +++
