Arguably, any message that should be disregarded shouldn't be logged in the first place; should we simply suppress (unless some option is turned on to display them - probably some option less crude than cranking the "syslog" level up so it logs stuff at "debug" level, which causes tons of crap to be logged) messages that are either never significant or that haven't occurred often enough to be significant?
So are NetApp now saying that they are disregarding the disk errors from NetAppCache machines as syslog as of version 3.3 NetAppCache code does not log messages about such disk error events.
To which disk error events are you referring? The NetApp disk driver code, QLogic SCSI driver code, and QLogic FC-AL driver code in the NetCache 3.3 release does appear to have code that should log messages for at least *some* disk error events. If there are significant errors that aren't getting messages logged, that's a bug (and, if such a bug was introduced, said bug might also be in filer code, unless it was fixed in our code base after the NetCache 3.3 release forked off from the main code line).
