[LU-833] Readonly patch way too verbose

Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:34:42 +0000

When running replay-single.sh/replay-ost-single.sh, the console logs is flooded with messages like this:

Release to readonly device dm-0 (0xfd00000): [inode 18] [block 39994] [count 5] [is_meta 1]
Lustre: Failing over lustre-OST0000
Write to readonly device dm-0 (0xfd00000) bi_flags: f000000000000001, bi_vcnt: 1, bi_idx: 0, bi->size: 4096, bi_cnt: 2, bi_private: ffff8800750ddf00

Although i understand the need of printing debug information to the console, it makes it really difficult to find useful information in the middle of all this noise.
e.g. for just replay-ost-single/test 8:
$ grep "Write to readonly" replay-ost-single.test_8.console.client-25vm8.log | wc -l
538

This additional debug information was added in bugzilla 16680:

    b=16680 diagnostic patch to verify lustre read-only device mechanism
    
    Diagnostic patch to check whether lustre read-only device mechanism works well or not.

If we are now confident that the read-only patch works well now, i would like to disable those debug information. If not, it probably deserves more digging.
