Before restart, the /proc/<pid-of-jounrald>/exe link was pointing to /lib/systemd/systemd-journald (deleted), now it is pointing to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald. My guess is still, the "handover" from initramfs to installed system (with a restart of journald?) is not working as intended and so for me the journald from initramfs is still running? But I have no real knowledge how this is supposed to work anyway, so I might be totally wrong here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
