Hi guys, Sorry, if I'm off topic/wrong email list.. I'm using kernel 3.18.11 kernel with log level 3 and I wonder what module/driver spamming kernel log with messages like: ... [333670.400456] sdc: sdc1 [333681.164482] sdc: sdc1 [333703.092187] sdc: sdc1 [333735.383544] sdc: sdc1 [333745.723305] sdc: sdc1 [333767.222874] sdc: sdc1 [333777.664778] sdc: sdc1 ... [334196.922476] sdc: sdc1 [334203.111184] sdc: detected capacity change from 80022167552 to 0 [334203.113963] ata4: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4010000 action 0xe frozen [334203.113965] ata4: irq_stat 0x00400040, connection status changed [334203.113968] ata4: SError: { PHYRdyChg DevExch } [334203.113976] ata4: hard resetting link [334203.836637] ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) .. When a removable disk is connected, kernel log is overwhelmed with messages about disk and its partition like in example above. Messages in the kernel log stop after disk was removed (ejected). The messages are not really informative and I wonder if they can be switched off. It is difficult to find this message in the kernel code, since based on the the look it is most likely containing only arguments to print function. Does anyone know the origin of such messages so they can be removed?
