Bug#762700: systemd: journald fails to forward some messages to syslog

[Ivan Baldo]

     Hello.
     Sorry if what I ask is very silly, but I feel I need to ask anyway...
     If sysvinit started syslog and waited for it and then started 
everything else, why can't we do the same with systemd?
     I mean, don't create the socket and then start syslog, but just 
start syslog and make everything that logs wait for it like in sysvinit.
     Is this just a performance optimization or is there another reason?
     BTW, my system says "systemd-journal[153]: Forwarding to syslog 
missed 293 messages.".
     Another thing I don't understand is why after startup, in normal 
operation, things like NetworkManager or some other daemons can lose 
messages to syslog? Does that happen with sysvinit too or is it a 
systemd specific thing?
     RHEL7 has the same issue? Maybe they have solved it or do something 
differently, but it could be useful to look...
     Thanks and sorry for being dumb!
     Have a great day!
