journald: silent loss of messages #6
Description
Currently, systemd-journald may lose messages silently in some cases of
the reached rate limit. The expected behavior is to always log
"Suppressed ... messages".
Steps to reproduce:
- Configuration:
RateLimitInterval=4s
RateLimitBurst=16
- Script:
$ echo 'line 0' > lines.txt
$ for i in $(seq 1 1023); do echo "line $i" >> lines.txt; done
$ for i in $(seq 0 1023); do logger -f lines.txt; done
$ journalctl | less
