Hi When I looked into my /var/log/messages file I see many kernel log messages. But, with that I also see messgaes that just say "--MARK--" (quotes are for clarification and not part of the message). What does this mean??where does this come from?? Could someone explain this?? thanks in advance!! Charumathi.
