Hi,
This just happened to me. I say "reboot" because it didn't actually
reboot. It sort of closed everything that was running down and gave me a
screen with a X shaped mouse on it. If I went to a virtual terminal and
tried to login, I got a message on the lines of "System booting up,
authentication failure" after I submitted my password.
From journalctl, it looks like systemd "reloaded" and started the entire
init process again?
I'm pretty sure systemd shouldn't randomly restart. Could it be an
update using wrong packaging scriptlets that caused systemd to "reboot"?
Well it's not necessarily "random". Some package updates trigger a
restart of the init system, intentionally. Obviously you'd hope the
running system would survive this, but it doesn't always. Can you
cross-reference with your dnf history to see what packages were in the
update transaction that ran at the time?
