I have continuing problems with the optical drive in my laptop, which
is /dev/sr0. Just now I tried to see what dmesg said about it, but I
can't understand the numbers in front of the output. For example, for
'dmesg |grep sr0' I get hundreds of lines like:

[1384105.947297] sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0]  

I would like to know the time when this took place. It seems that the
first numbers ought to be a time stamp of some sort, but I need a
translation into human time. For that matter, it might be nice to know
what the rest of the line means as well. The only part that I
understand is [sr0]. The man page tells me options for the dmesg
command, but no information about understanding the output.

Anyone?
