Dracut is configured by default to set `sysloglvl=5`, which results in a large amount of debug info being sent to the system journal during the build process. This is also implemented inefficiently in shell script, and has a major performance impact. Since we don't care about system journal output at all during the build process, we can just disable all logging to everywhere except stderr using a temporary dracut conf file. This saves about 90 seconds in the initramfs generation step in each image build. Signed-off-by: Daniel Hast <[email protected]>
