The warn file in /var/log has all the KERN_WARN messages from printk. I wonder how the kernel does it. I mean how does it actually saves all that data into a file on the disk.
The kernel doesn't. klogd/syslog does. The kernel just logs to a buffer in memory, then userspace tools pull the messages out of there and write them to files. -- Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
