[FONT=arial]Hi,
I am not very well familiar with linux any more (nor with this forum). The problem is that I noticed that since a couple of weeks there are problems reported during booting into Opensuse 13.1 and I think this has started after an upgrade of systemd recently. Notwithstanding the reported errors, everything seems to start up normally and everything seems to be operating well (except postfix, see below). This is on a 9 year old computer with dual disc in RAID configuration, with LVM2 and encryption on a number of partitions (swap, /home, /var, /tmp). I have waited a few weeks to see if a further upgrade would correct the issue, but this has not happened so far. I have tried to find a solution but did not find anything simple, and I am afraid I would create an unbootable system. The boot.log is below and I hope somebody can give me some pointers to try to solve this issue.
I noticed also that at the same time(?) postfix does not start any more at boot. And an even older PC which is my mail server with also openSuse 13,1 has similar DEPEND and postfix startup problems, but it has no RAID or encrypted partitions.
Help would be appreciated how to proceed.
Thanks, Charles
p.s. is there an easy way to include files into messages? Below was cut-and-pasted, which is somewhat of a pain and error prone as well on longer files.
