Unfortunately not; that's one of the things we're considering changing. For now, you may be able to get away with setting up /etc/syslog.conf to ignore debug-level messages from the kernel. Instead, view the kernel's ring buffer using dmesg. Of course, you have to do this before the messages of interest get overwritten -- and that may happen pretty quickly since your copy process will probably generate a flurry of errors when the disk stops working. In case it's not clear, "the messages of interest" means the messages logged just _before_ the disk malfunctions.
