I know that the messages I get via nfs_msg in nfs_socket.c I haven't been seeing in my syslogs, and when they show up in the dmesg output they are not timestamped. Somebody was commenting on the same thing happening to certain SCSI diagnostic messages. I've noticed this, too.

Think about it for a moment. If the output doesn't > get out in time, where is it going to be saved? Good point.
