I mentioned a problem with this once before, and was referred to
other threads that also talked about this. But I believe a recent
problem I was experiencing, may have been related to this:
[: -le: argument expected. So I'd like to bring it up again, in
hopes that someone might have a cure. Specifically, two printf()'s
are sent to the same line, which results in a /very/ hard line to
decipher.
The two problems you're discussing are entirely 100% unrelated to one
another. Please do not try and relate them, it will just confuse
readers of both threads.
Good to know. relatedness stops here. :)
The problem with [/test on your system is something that's specific to
your system. I'm hoping the reinstall you're doing (see private mail)
will alleviate this, and if it doesn't, something you're doing after the
fresh install is causing it. That should be discussed in the other
thread and not here.
Understood.
The problem with kernel printf()s being interwoven is documented in my
"common issues" file, with numerous threads referenced -- see "Scrambled
dmesg/kernel output" here:
http://jdc.parodius.com/freebsd/common_issues.txt
Yes, I read this already (thanks for sharing it when I originally
asked about this). But was hoping something had been done that
fixes this.
There is no fix or workaround for this problem. Someone mentioned
increasing PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE to 128, which does not fix the problem,
nor diminish it in any way.
It's very important that people understand the interwoven kernel output
is specific to stuff printed to the console at the kernel level (e.g. a
driver/module, a piece of the kernel, etc.), and will not happen when
doing something that's output via printf(3) from libc (e.g. output from
"make buildworld", "yes", "ls -FRal /", and so on).
Good to know - even if it's not a cure. :)
Thank you Jeremy, for taking the time to provide such an informative
reply.
Best wishes.
