Package: systemd
Version: 247.3
Severity: normal

"systemctl isolate emergency" fails to stop systemd-journald..

it's not an upstream issue since the problem does not occurr with other distributions.

having systemd-journald to be stopped is desirable since the administrator can then use e2fsck to repair filesystems(after the problematic filesystem read-only -- "mount -o ro,remount /" for instance)

upstream won't look into this because it is not happening on other distributions.

please take a look
thanks

However if the user boots normally into multi-user or graphical targets, and types "systemctl isolate emergency" or "systemctl emergency", debian does not stop systemd-journald services.

this is a problem noticeably if the user wants to perform work on "/" with "mount -o ro,remount /".

I discussed this with upstream in the context of
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/23863#issuecomment-1169866253

They rejected the idea of automatically stopping journald when entering rescue mode. The correct way of making journald stop logging to /var (and keeping /var or / busy), is to use `journalctl --relinquish-var` in the case you want to fsck those file systems.
