Like this:

static int jffs2_garbage_collect_thread(void *_c)
{
        struct jffs2_sb_info *c =3D _c;

        D1(printk(KERN_DEBUG "****jffs2_garbage_collect_thread start...\n=
"));

        daemonize("jffs2_gcd_mtd%d", c->mtd->index);

        D1(printk(KERN_DEBUG "****jffs2_garbage_collect_thread after=20
daemonize()...\n"));

        c->gc_task =3D current;
        up(&c->gc_thread_start);

-----------------
No extra output !!!

I'm running this on an embedded system and the console is via minicom (tt=
yS1),=20
SysRq-T doesn't seem to work !

If I have to I can bodge up some H/W to allow a real console (only as a l=
ast=20
resort) ;)

TIA,
