If such > actually exist, where do I find the top of that man tree? Come on, Gene. There's a lot of things (at least from my point of view [0]) to criticize of systemd. Lack of documentation isn't one. It comes with a very complete set of man pages [1]. Entering "systemd documentation" in your search engine of choice yields as top results things like [2] or [3]. Start reading, if that's your thirst. Now you could argue that you haven't got the time to digest a full new system if you already have one you feel comfy with; this would be absolutely OK. But spreading half-truths (or even lies) about that system you don't know (in this thread's case: that systemd's binary log format is there to save disk space) -- this is *not* OK. > > Folks.

Here's n the hope of having made your life more interesting. You make ours more interesting, too -- so it's giving back. Cheers [0] And no, no self-med. Henning: I'm still angry at you about that. [1] I can't check, since I have no systemd installed. But have you tried "man -k systemd"? [2] https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ [3] https://systemd.io/ -- tomás
