I have temporarily shelved my problem with mounting since my work-around seems adequate. But I have some questions about logging. Journald works fine but what am I supposed to see on the main console? All I can see is a few kernel messages which cease after the lvm service completes. There are no service starting messages and no login prompt appears. The other ttys have a banner and prompt as usual.
Secondly I want to merge the journal into syslog-ng for post-processing. I have the correct syslog-ng service defined and syslog-ng.conf has been modified to use /run/systemd/journald/syslog as a source unix-stream. But I see no systemd messages appearing. In the Gentoo package all the journald.conf statements are commented out, which ones are necessary to do what I want. I have tried the "logging_to_syslog/kmsg" options but to no effect, but there are many! TIA -Robin -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin Atwood.
