Yep, it is different with systemd v231. systemd[1]: user@1000.service: Killing process 4866 (btrfs) with signal SIGKILL. What's interesting is that 'btrfs scrub' process goes from status S to Z. However, 'btrfs balance', even though it receives the same SIGKILL from systemd, remains running with status R and D. And so does 'btrfs replace'. The session is definitely gone per loginctl, but the process started in that user session is still running for the entire balance and replace. This took several minutes, so I don't think it's just some kind of delayed death. Maybe only processes with status S are subject to SIGKILL, and R and D can ignore it? *shrug* Both top and ps report that the user for these processes is root, which makes sense because I used sudo to run them. However, the default KillExcludeUsers=root appears to not apply to user ownership of the process but rather user session. So even if I were to sudo -i, or use su -c, and then exit the DE, apparently those processes are subject to SIGKILL. That's questionable. >> systemd KillUserProcesses=yes and btrfs scrub >> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150781 > > Why do you require systemd v230?

The logic was that it's the default starting with systemd v230.
