<pre>When passing the 'quiet' kernel commandline option, not only does this quieten
the console output, but it also lowers the verbosity of messages logged in the
journal.
Configuration:
- Arch Linux x86_64, systemd (from [core] repo) version 218-2
Steps to reproduce:
- Start out with a default configuration in /etc/systemd/journald.conf, i.e. no
values overridden.
- Boot the system with and without the 'quiet' kernel commandline option
- Compare the output of `journalctl -b`
Expected results:
- Both logs should contain messages up to verbosity level 'debug', as
documented in journald.conf(5). In particular, messages of the form "Starting
<unit>", "Started <unit>", etc. should always be logged.
Actual results:
- When booting with 'quiet', no messages of the form "Starting <unit>", etc.
are logged for system services (they are logged for user services, though).</pre>
