In which file are to be found EARLY messages outputs?

Once Boot phase completes, I don't where to look for the mount: line you see in the above photo.
Can you please enlighten me?

# journalctl -b --no-pager | grep Operation and # dmesg | grep Operation are both empty.

Thanks

you can try redirecting the output to tty2 so they don't get overiden, and configure agetty not to clear the boot messages, no DM on that tty etc. so one can read them later.

So there's no way in having the that kind of output(s) in a NON volatile way?

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/13913 suggests this has been happening for years already .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Sooo... You're telling me it's time to switch to OpenRC, then?

Re: In which file are to be found EARLY messages outputs?

I think the issue is that this message does not come from systemd or one of its services, but from a script in the initramfs that runs before systemd is invoked (see "Starting systemd-udev..." below).
It should™ however appear somewhere in the kernel ring buffer...

Maybe try to boot with the systemd instead of the udev hook...

# journalctl -b --no-pager | grep Operation and # dmesg | grep Operation are both empty.

log_buf_len=n[KMG], default is 128K but I guess that /dev/kmsg is lost after leaving the initramfs

mount | grep -i efi

In order to keep the discussions organized and the Fourm tidy, I opened another dedicate Topic per-se.
I opened this one because here I'm asking for a broader / more generic question.
