[lm-sensors] w83627ehf module floods log file

[David Hubbard]

Hello,

There are several ways to suppress this information in /var/log/messages:

1. Turn kernel driver debugging off:
Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options -> Driver Core verbose debug messages

Or, if you can't turn that off,
2. Reconfigure syslogd to ignore the messages. This depends on which
distro you are using. Look under /etc/syslog.conf, /etc/syslog.d/*, or
man syslog. The messages are printed at KERN_DEBUG level, and
typically syslogd ignores these messages.

Or, if you can't turn it off,
3. Reconfigure syslogd to send KERN_DEBUG messages to a separate log
file. man syslog.

Hope that helps,
David
