/var/log/messages has endless usb-storage entries
I'm not sure why, but my /var/log/messages has nothing but messages about usb-storage and hundreds of these messages post each second, endlessly. Here's a snippet:
Code:
root@localhost:/var/log>dmesg | tail -n 25 I've searched Google and LQ but apparently not with the right keywords because I get articles that are completely irrelevant. I run Gentoo Linux on a 64-bit Gateway GM5424 PC with the 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 kernel built by genkernel from the instructions provided in the Gentoo 10.1 handbook for amd64. The system has 6GB of RAM, and on the USB bus I have a Samsung color laser printer, an APC UPS, a card reader, my mouse, and occasionally (but not as I wrote this post) my HTC Snap cell phone. I have not had any problems with the USB devices working in Linux. Please let me know if there's any commands or troubleshooting ideas you have to resolve this problem. Thanks! |
You may want to check if your kernel compile includes the option for "Verbose debugging of the USB mass storage subsystem" -- I had a similar issue about a year ago, and discovered that I had enabled mass-storage debugging and forgotten all about it until I decided to investigate why my logs were getting spammed like yours are.
I'll attach a link in a moment here... Here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...klogd+spamming |
That's probably it!
I did a quick "zcat /proc/config.gz | grep USB_STORAGE_DEBUG" and found:
Code:
root@localhost:/boot>zcat /proc/config.gz | grep USB_STORAGE_DEBUG Code:
root@localhost:/boot>zcat /proc/config.gz | grep USB_DEBUG Thanks so much for your prompt response! |
Resolved!
That was it! Thanks again for your help!

:cool: Great! You're welcome; if you haven't yet, you can mark your thread [solved] using the Thread Tools menu near the top.
