[systemd-devel] systemd console messages (crippled)

[Nikolai Zhubr]

Hi people,

I'm now fighting with opensuse 13.2 failing to mount some or all disks 
at boot, obviously resulting in unusable system. This distribution is 
systemd-based, hence I'm here. While I haven't yet exactly understood my 
disks problem, one other thing is absolutely clear: systemd messages as 
displayed on text-mode console are crippled and there is no option to 
decripple them. This is my favourite (real-life example):

[FAILED] Failed to start File System Check on 
/dev/disk/by-uu...5-eaedc37c1852.
See "systemctl status 'systemd-fsck at dev-disk-by\x2duuid-729...ce'" for 
details.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /sysroot.

Now what's the point of crippling them so hard? And what's the use of 
such hints ("See systemctl status...) if actual uuid value got truncated 
away? Ok, I had to use a pen and a piece of paper to write down this 
uuid first, after that I could actually try to make some use of 
systemd's hint.

I just fail to understand who this truncating is good for. Those who 
like pretty-pretty boot screen would have graphical logo with colorfull 
animations, so they'd never see systemd's boot output and wouldn't care. 
Those who prefer more usefull diagnostic info over screen prettiness 
could probably tolerate line-wraps. Or do line-wraps explode LCD 
monitors these days?
Ok, sorry, could some kind soul maybe just apply the diff below?

Thanks in advance,
Nikolai
