Hi! I have a kind of trivial suggestion for improving the kernel messages for ext3-fs mounts to be more consistent and useful:
Most messages for ext3-mounting include the device, like: kernel: [ 823.233892] EXT3-fs (dm-7): using internal journal kernel: [ 823.233899] EXT3-fs (dm-7): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode However some messages do not include a device, even though they seem device specific. For example: kernel: [ 823.210989] EXT3-fs: barriers not enabled kernel: [ 823.233218] kjournald starting. Commit interval 15 seconds This was observed in the current SLES11 SP2 kernel (3.0.58-0.6.6). I haven't queried the sources, but it looks like an easy change... BTW: The kjournal threads are also anonymous in the process list (while xfs (for example) names them): # ps ax |grep journ 418 ? S 0:00 [kjournald] 1070 ? S 0:00 [kjournald] 1071 ? S 0:00 [kjournald] 1072 ? S 0:00 [kjournald] 1073 ? S 0:00 [kjournald] 1074 ? S 0:00 [kjournald] 1075 ? S 0:00 [kjournald] 5461 ? S 0:00 [kjournald] 5499 ? S 0:00 [kjournald] 5601 ?
