Hi, I just spotted that there is a difference in the default log levels on Fedora and RHEL-8 vs RHEL-7. Fedora/RHEL-8 uses: # cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk 7 4 1 7 while RHEL-7 uses: # cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk 2 4 1 7 I also see that this seems to have been changed in the the packaging commit 4778b265ca87608cf8dcbcec31c0230555d98784 Author: Justin M. Forbes <jforbes@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 13 16:26:04 2016 -0600 Linux v4.9-2682-ge7aa8c2 (missing secure boot as that is being rebased to the new upstream tree This is quite a while ago, but my googlefoo wasn't strong enough to find a reason why. I am not saying this necessarily it is wrong, it just makes the dmesg contain more data. So I am primarily curious why Fedora and RHEL-8 has this high debug level as the default. We're working on an OpenVPN Data Channel Offload kernel module where we used this debug level to give more details for debugging .... so a default debug level of 7 prints out a lot more details which normal production environments do not really need. If this was a deliberate change for a reason, we will reconsider how to enable debug logging differently than using the printk debug levels. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth OpenVPN Inc
