I have bought an SSD to replace my old HDD to get my laptop(lenovo thinkpad x220) faster, and made up a fresh installation of Arch Linux with an i3wm and no dm(tty only). I have had a nice ASCII art on my HDD and wanted to make the same one on an SSD. Though the /etc/issue file is the same as I had, the file gets cut to 18th line. I wonder if someone knows what is the boot process and what can give such behavior. Wanted to mention that TTY doesn't display some unicode chars, like ░▒▓though it used to before(somehow).

Do you mean the OS (or the filesystem) truncates the file itself? Or it just doesn't print the whole file when you think it should? Is
/etc/motdprinted? Is it printed well? – Kamil Maciorowski – 2019-04-05T19:25:18.730@KamilMaciorowski I think the os truncates the stdout when printing this file out. The /etc/motd gets printed (yet without any special symbols support). I don't get any errors when booting and everything else works fine. – Andrew f0s3 Kosenko – 2019-04-05T20:09:48.683
