With the exception of the relation to storage, yes, for the most part. We

I initially emphasized the boot speed from running the Ubuntu 16.04 VM on a SSD, but I believe the problem is mainly to do with the startup ordering of rsyslog and network support. I ended up working around the issue of rsyslog starting before network support was available by modifying the systemd unit with a conf fragment:

# /etc/systemd/system/rsyslog.service.d/10-wait-on-network.conf

[Unit]

After=network.target

It mostly works for us and appears to be what stock CentOS 7 is doing with their rsyslog package.

It appears someone else has posted a similar issue already as well @
https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/1694

Thanks for linking to that GitHub issue. Their issue appears to be with omfwd while mine was with omrelp. Presumably the issue is "lower" down the stack than either module as David Lang indicated here:
