Description Jonathan Liu 2014-03-11 05:30:17 UTC
systemd 210 provides valuable feedback for timeouts when starting/stopping services which is useful to check if a service is hanging for a long time during startup/shutdown. If a service is hanging it will show time elapsed and the timeout limit.

I have 210 working on arm/x86/x86_64 but systemd-logind fails on ppc and mips thus far. so it can not be yet deployed widely, The problem with systemd-logind seems to be that it missing a dbus rename on ppc/mips and then exits and we are left with a booted system but no login on console. ssh logins work fine. Same issue pops up on uclibc too. 

This would need debugging and unfs3 has been giving frozen system whenever I try to nfs boot qemu on ubuntu 12.04 so thats not helping.
