usb-storage log verbosity

usb-storage log verbosity

[J . A . Magallon]

Hi,

I have recently started to use an USB cd toaster and have a little problem.
Writer is driven by usb-storage and scsi-cdrom and scsi-generic drivers.
Burning works fine.

The problem is that the usb-storage module spits so many info-debug
messages (even if I configured no debug in kernel config) that after
a cd burn I end up with a 25 MB file in /var/log/messages and other 25MB
in /var/log/kernel/info, so it fills my / partition.

If someone know a fast way to shut up usb-storage, I'll be gratefull.
If not, I will try to make a patch to enclose all that printk's into
#ifdef CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG.

Umm.. all the printk's are inclosed with the ifdef, courtsey of a little
bit of #define magic.  I use it all the time (after all, I'm the
maintainer), and when I want it to shut up, it shuts up.

Are you sure you recompiled and installed properly?  Re-ran 'make dep'?
I've had reports of this before -- every one of them was solved by a proper
recompilation.

We've made a business out of making money from annoying and stupid people.
I think you fall under that category.
