--- Comment #3 from Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek <zbyszek(a)in.waw.pl> ---
The goal of my bug report is to nudge Fedora toward a system which is resilient
to failure.
In particular this is motivated by making it easier for users to recover from
disk corruption
and other file system issues. Users are confused and unhappy when they boot to
a tty prompt.
I'm going through all services which reasonably should run fine with readonly
fs. Obviously,
in really bad cases, logging in at the tty will be necessary. But read-only
root is not one
of them.
There is really no reason to log to a private log file nowadays. Please just
log to the
journal by default. This is much nicer for users because they expect
'journalctl' to give
them system logs, and not to have to hunt for some obscure log file. This also
makes this
*much* more robust. In particular, journald is completely fine with read-only
root.
Log files are stored in /run, and if /var/log becomes available, logs are
flushed there.
Logs should "just work" from user's POV.
