X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 16:20:46 -0000 I am playing with ata spindown feature and I think that it is really unnecessary to print a message each time ata driver is going to spindown a disk or let it be spinned up: ad6: Idle, spin down ad6: request while spun down, starting. ad6: drive spun down. ad6: Idle, spin down ad6: request while spun down, starting. Especially this is not useful when "Idle, spin down" messages are going spin up the disk via syslog logging to disk :-) Maybe put these under verboseboot if not drop entirely? -- Andriy Gapon
