Package: rsyslog
Version: 3.20.5-1
Severity: normal
Shouldn't a Debian syslog system write the boot messages to
/var/log/boot.log ?
I'm currently trying to debug some cryptsetup issue and don't have
access to the error messages.
Created /etc/rsyslog.d/boot.conf with:
# Save boot messages also to boot.log
#local7.* /var/log/boot.log
if \
$syslogfacility-text == 'local7' \
then /var/log/boot.log
But the logfile remains empty.
