Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Utopic: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] * The move to dev_printk has sufficiently modified the scsi error output that it confuses some automated log monitoring. This causes some errors to not be definitively connected to a disk. Context does help, but separate line context is difficult to automatedly parse. [Test Case] * Use a misbehaving disk that uses the scsi layer and look in kern.log for what appears to be errantly wrapped lines in the scsi error output [Regression Potential] * Minimal both changes are clean cherry-picks. However as I do not have any misbehaving discs I was only able to boot test this. I could get fancy, but that would take more time. * Both patches are upstream starting in utopic and vivid respectively. [Other Info] * This only partially resolves the issue. That's because the fix (9e5ed2a5b3) that does solve this is very large, not a clean cherry-pick or easily backportable, and requires too many prerequisites and in my opinion not SRUable. That fix is available starting in v4.0. My guess is this should be available in wily. ----- Original description---- It seems to me that kernel errors, specifically those from the scsi driver, are being wrapped, which can confound automated log monitoring. Example from dmesg -- the lines I marked with X are being printed on separate lines where they previously weren't.

I'm certain it affects quantal to utopic, and vivid is partially mitigated.
