Hi,
it is a simple enough, nonintrusive change so it may not really matter as
much, but I was wondering if there is a way to map the device name to
the fs UUID already and I think there may be.
I know that udev daemon is constantly scanning devices then they are
closed in order to be able to read the signatures. It should know
exactly what is on the device and I know it is able to track the history
of changes. What I am not sure about is whether it is already logged
somewhere?
If it's not already, maybe it can be done and then we can cross
reference kernel log with udev log when tracking down problems to see
exactly what is going on without needing to sprinkle UUIDs in kernel log ?
Any thoughts?

Hm, I'm not that familiar with udev or what it logs, so I can't really say
offhand. If you know for sure that this mapping is possible to achieve in
other ways, that may be useful.
I guess I'm still of the opinion that having the device::uuid mapping clearly
stated at mount time in the kernel logs is useful, though; AFAIK there is no
real "cost" to this, and other subsystems already print UUIDs for various
reasons so it's not an unusual thing to do.
(I'd have hesitated to add yet another printk for this purpose, but extending
an existing printk seems completely harmless...)

I have no strong opinion either way, just trying to explore avenues we
may already have.
When I do mkfs.xfs -f /dev/vdb this is what I get from:
udevadm monitor --environment
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

Don't like it. Emitting the UUID on the fs mount/unmount log message
is a trivial change that has zero impact on anything as well as
being really easy for log scrapers to deal with.
Screwing around with udev to manage and/or find this correlationi
is ... unnecssarily awful.

/me wonders what problem is needing to be solved here -- if support is
having difficulty mapping fs uuids to block devices for $purpose, then
why not capture the blkid output in the sosreport and go from there?
That said, I thought logging the super device name ("sda1") and the fs
uuid in dmesg was sufficient to accomplish that task?
/me shrugs, doesn't understand, wanders off to more code refactoring...

Because the sosreport is frequently a post-mortem, and device name to uuid
mapping may have changed by that time.

I think it is.

I agree that it's easy to do. But the reason I wanted to at least have
the discussion about an alternate way of doing this is that I remember a
discussion at Plumbers, or LFS/MM where people were opposed to putting
more and more UUID and other ugly identifiers into kernel log. My memory

people.
But if the consensus shifted since then, I am fine with that.
Thanks!
