I've noticed that all of my SPLAT boxes stop logging to /var/log/dmesg near
the end of the boot up process.  The last two logs in /var/log/dmesg are:
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Adding Swap: 6288776k swap-space (priority -1)

However, if I run the 'dmesg' command the logging continues.  The next eight
lines are:
IA-32 Microcode Update Driver: v1.13 <tigran AT veritas DOT com>
microcode: No suitable data for cpu 0
microcode: No suitable data for cpu 1
libata version 1.02 loaded.
Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi0, channel 0, id 15, lun 0,  type 3
inserting floppy driver for 2.4.21-21cpsmp
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077

And the logging continues on from there.  This is a problem for me since
ClusterXL seems to only send some of its messages to dmesg.  Has anyone else
seen this?  Is this by design or does this indicate a problem on my servers?
Is there any way to tell dmesg to keep logging to file?

I'm running SPLAT R65.

TIA,
Jim
