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.
