Printing the "truncating inode" and "deleting unreferenced inode" messages is now controlled by the "debug" option to mount. These messages were filling the /var/log/messages file and are normal for ext4 file system recovery. Tested by opening several files, unlinking them, then crashing the system, rebooting the system and examining /var/log/messages.
