get rid of journal on systemd-using systems?

[Thorsten Glaser]

Ciao Lorenzo,

what commands exactly would one use for this?

I guess someone’ll have to fire up a VM to test this…

Last time I looked into udev spewing the kernel log full with
its stuff, I encountered a generic-ish logging layer in systemd
which seems to test for presence of journald and depending on
that uses journald-with-klog-fallback or syslog-with-klog-fallback
(udev is started too early for syslog, and it’s not restarted in
rc2, so it goes to klog), so that might even work. I don’t know.

bye,
