[systemd-devel] failed to start login service

[arnaud gaboury]

I broke my machine and can not log anymore. When at login prompt, I
can log as user or root, I am rejected.
I have no idea what broke the system (upgrade, wrong behavior, a 100%
full ssd...). The box is clean, up to date, no fancy hacks (I think
so...).
Some info:
Distro : Arch linux
systemd : systemd-git 212.250.gd67006f-1

I am on a chroot, so I can't use systemctl. Please find below part of
journalctl.
I may have an insaine /var or /run partition following stupid rsynck
backup script.

Thank you for help as I vae no idea how to log again. I of course
reinstall systemd.
