I have other needs, so I have carefully hand-tuned my syslog and my daemons to remove those messages that happen very frequently. The remaining syslogs are very infrequent (few per day) but must be logged. But that isn't the point; the point is that I'd like to keep some information on how often the disk spins up or down, which is only possible with logging. Unfortunately, with ext3 disks the "I have switched off your disk" message would cause an immediate spinup if it isn't delayed.
