"journalctl --full -a --no-pager --since 2013-04-17 > /tmp/logfile" never finishes but chews away with 100% CPU... This is terminally broken and exactly what people opposing binary log formats expected to happen: no way to get the logs out of the heap of data. journalctl --verify did complain about some of the journal files (without a way to fix them), I have removed or renamed the ones it complained on but this did not help. My machine crashed a few times on april 11, but logfiles other than the journal survived that without permanent damage. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
