BUG? procpsng+systemd=log file flooded by systemd?

kokoko3k · 2013-04-08 11:25:45

my system log file is filled with something like:

Apr  8 13:26:18 localhost systemd-sysctl[22509]: Duplicate assignment of kernel/sysrq in file '/usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf', ignoring.

About 10% is taken by those warnings!

Gozer ~ # wc -l  /var/log/everything.log && grep 'Duplicate assignment of kernel/sysrq in file' /var/log/everything.log | wc -l
962 /var/log/everything.log
162

I can understand what variable is duplicated, it is kernel.sysrq:

Gozer ~ # grep -v \# /etc/sysctl.conf |sort -u
kernel.sysrq = 0
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 0

Gozer ~ # grep -v \# /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf |sort -u
fs.protected_hardlinks = 1
fs.protected_symlinks = 1
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
kernel.sysrq = 16
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1

...and all started from the new systemd defaults:

Gozer ~ # pacman -Ql |grep -i  50-default.conf 
systemd /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf

...At least it doesn't overwrite it:

Gozer ~ # sysctl -a | grep -i sysr
kernel.sysrq = 0

So,
not only the new systemd defaults duplicates what i already have in /etc/sysctl.conf,
but it even complaints in the log file!

Is there a way to stop it?

Please link directly to the post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p1326095 as people use different posts-per-page settings and this ways you don't have to browse the page looking for the post in question.

BTW, I see you got rid of the useless cat ;P

Eheh, you're right

What versions of systemd and procps-ng do you have? I thought this had been fixed but don't remember the details...

kokoko3k, I thunk you should mark this thread as solved.

cfr · 2013-09-20 00:06:49

That's a really bad solution, though, because it masks all of the defaults and all future defaults.

karol · 2013-09-20 00:09:24

Yup, I [now] know https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 4#p1326424 :-)

I never got my logs flooded, I just keep getting two lines at every boot - it's not exactly the end of the world, so I did what the news item told me to do.

I'm requesting this thread to be merged with the other...

jasonwryan · 2013-09-20 06:43:36

Rather than merge, well just close this and leave the pointer to the other thread:
