1. systemd doesn't produce ASCII (or for that matter, UTF) log files, it produces binary blob log files.
:~(
Which means you can't just browse through a log file using grep, awk, and/or more (or less).
Or F3 in an OFM, or in such GUI apps as file manager, text editor or web browser.
2. systemd eliminates separate log files... so if you're looking for ntp messages, we no longer have ntp log files... now we have to wade through the whole combined (binary only) logfile
:~(
3. The old time tested method of keeping log files small and maneagble (daily rotation) is now also broken, YATFUBSD...
:~( Yesterday I went to distrowatch to see if any significant number of distros are yet to be FUBSD. IIRC, there were out of about 25 checked (plus about a dozen that I didn't need to check): Slackware PCLinuxOS Mepis Knoppix (Debian based, so likely will get mutilated on next release) Puppy (last released with 3.2 kernel a year ago) Elementary (debian-based last release 10 months ago with 3.2 kernel) CentOS (last released with 2.6 kernel) Peppermint (debian-based last release in Nov with 3.8 kernel) FreeBSD (short-handed in dev dept., likely not long before death) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
