I'm not particularly married to error level except it has been there for ages. But how many users actually know what their current log level is set to? And how to tweak it? So I don't think the log level issue is particularly interesting in itself. I think it would be more worthwhile to massage the message. -- Martin K. Petersen Oracle Linux Engineering
