Re: how to correctly log without journald (and its blobs)?

[Christian Kujau]

I was able to disable journald similar to this:


systemctl stop systemd-journald-dev-log.socket systemd-journald.socket 
systemd-journald.service
systemctl mask systemd-journald-dev-log.socket systemd-journald.socket 
systemd-journald.service

(I tried to "disable" those services first, but somehow journald got started 
anyway on the next reboot).


Configure rsyslog with:

$AddUnixListenSocket/var/run/systemd/journal/syslog
$SystemLogSocketName/var/run/systemd/journal/syslog

Or with the new configuration format[0]:

module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.Name="/run/systemd/journal/syslog" 
Socket="/var/run/systemd/journal/syslog")

I also had to adjust the /dev/log symlink to point to 
/var/run/systemd/journal/syslog, so that programs like logger(1) will still 
work. Added the following to /etc/rc.local (or wherevery custom startup 
routines were configured):

ln -svf /var/run/systemd/journal/syslog /dev/log | logger -t "$0"

With all that journald is no longer running and rsyslog still works! :-)

I don't have any "recommendation" as I really think it is a personal 
preference. 
But, FWIW, I used rpm2cpio to unpack the Oracle package and the
following RPMfusion rpms

akmod-VirtualBox-5.2.8-3.fc27.x86_64.rpm
python-VirtualBox-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm
VirtualBox-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm
VirtualBox-devel-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm
VirtualBox-guest-additions-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm
VirtualBox-kmodsrc-5.2.8-2.fc27.noarch.rpm
VirtualBox-server-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm
VirtualBox-webservice-5.2.8-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm

The major difference in size is caused by VBoxGuestAdditions.iso being supplied 
in
Oracle but not in RPMfusion.  I don't have the RPMfusion stuff installed but I'm
guessing it must get built or something at some point.

[egreshko@meimei Vbox]$ find ./Oracle/ -name *iso
./Oracle/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
[egreshko@meimei Vbox]$ find ./Fusion/ -name *iso
[egreshko@meimei Vbox]$
