Hi.
Now, on the VFS-layer any messages aren't printed at mount/umount time
(when the operation normally terminates).
But there are some filesystems which print their own specific messages at those
times.
For the purpose of the system management and so on, users (especially,
enterprise users) want to observe their system operations from the system logs.
We may manage to observe some filesystems' operations (mount/umount) from the
logs. But the filesystems of which we can observe the operations are not all.
Therefore to achieve the observations for all filesystems is to add the common
message mechanism into the VFS layer. If any filesystems' specific messages at
mount/umount time are added into this, we can distinguish more easily each
message among the system logs for our systems' observations.
This patch provides the following:
- message output of common format from VFS at mount/umount time
- the functions of printing the filesystem's specific information at
mount/umount time
(NOTE: This mechanism becomes effective only when the users call
the mount system call because they don't want to observe the pseudo
filesystems.)
Example of display:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Device sda1 mounted file system type ext3 read-write
Device sda2 mounted file system type ext3 read-write
Device sdd2 mounted file system type ext3 read-write
Device sdd2 unmounted
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S.
This concept derives from the following:
