Strange line in dmesg re. //ddev/eadv10

S

Hi all,

In my dmesg, I found the following cryptic message:

Code: 
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad6s1a
<<111188>>//ddev/eadv10: /FaILdE8:  SFYILSET SEYMS CTLEAEN; MSK ICLPEANP;I SKINPGP ICNHGECKS

I included the line above it (regarding /dev/ad6s1a) as I thought it might be related and seemed a bit strange in itself.

I've searched for parts of the string in Google/Yahoo to no avail. I don't even know where to look for an answer on this:

The /FaILdE8 almost looks like leet speak for "failed"? There's also something about PGP? If I didn't know better, it almost looks like I've been hacked.

This is on a FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE amd64 machine using the GENERIC kernel.
The machine is a Q9650 running on a P5Q-DELUXE with 4GB RAM.

These are the drives in it:
Code: 
ad6: 76318MB <Seagate ST380815AS 4.AAA> at ata3-master SATA300
ad8: 1430799MB <WDC WD15EARS-00Z5B1 80.00A80> at ata4-master SATA300
ad10: 1907729MB <WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 51.0AB51> at ata5-master SATA300
ad12: 953869MB <WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 80.00A80> at ata6-master SATA300

The Seagate drive holds the OS.
The Western Digital drives are data storage/backup drives.

Anyone seen this before or can offer me any advice on where to look?

TIA,
Steve Laurie
 
You're running an old version of FreeBSD, or at least an old kernel conf. This is what happens when a dual-processor system prints two messages at the same time--the output gets mixed. Later versions of GENERIC include
Code: 
options PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE=128
so there's enough of a buffer that each message gets printed by itself.

The output looks like a mix of the ad8 and ad10 "FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS" messages.
 
Thank you

I didn't even notice it was 2 messages mixed (capitals and lower case). I must be getting old. :(
Thank you very much for clearing this up for me.
