Helps: #664.
Currently, logs are written to disk twice, once by journald and once by rsyslog.
rsyslog may log to multiple locations depending on the type of the log. To
reduce disk I/O, disable rsyslog and rely solely on systemd journal.
Place the code in config module as there is no better place for it currently
without creating a new module. Can be sorted later.
The following files under /var/log/ are no longer populated on FreedomBox. They
will be rotated away over a few days. Use journalctl instead to view the
messages:
- syslog
- messages*
- auth.log*
- debug*
- daemon.log
- kern.log
- lpr.log
- mail.log
- mail.info
- mail.warn
- mail.err
- user.log
Tests performed:
- On a machine with rsyslog running, run ./setup.py install and start FreedomBox
service. This triggers the config app's setup. rsyslog is disabled and masked.
systemd-journald is restarted.
- Even when rsyslog is unmaked and enabled manually, systemd journald does not
forward message to syslog anymore.
