[OpenSuse 10.0 - how to stop kernel logging for usb-storage??] Hi, I got a problem with opensuse 10.0 logging mechanism. It works properly in most instances except when I connect an external usb-2 device (ie. a hard disk). The external usb works fine BUT /var/log/messages becomes VERY huge VERY fast with tons of data from kernel - see below. Does anyone have any idea how to reduce the amount of output from the kernel for usb-storage. Thanks for any help and/or advice. Rgds.
