            Bug ID: 89781
           Summary: journal: 'quiet' kernel commandline option also lowers
                    stored log verbosity
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: a.c.kalker at gmail.com

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).
