RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Steve Dickson 2015-11-16 21:12:55 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1282600 +++

Description of problem:

Now that rpc.gssd is the critical path of every
NFS mount, any favored mount, I thought I would
take a crack at making the daemon a bit more 
debuggable by making the logging more readable.

The first level of debugging (-v) will only log 
errors and warnings that are not normally logged.
I'm thinking this might be a good level to run
at a customer's site.

I also thought about changing the majority of the 
printerr(0) which always log to printerr(1)s. I 
decided not to since I figured more info is 
better.

Note, I didn't remove any of the messages, I just pushed
them back to other debug levels. 

I trimmed down the second level of debugging (-vv) 
by again moving them back to other levels. 

The third level (-vvv) is basically the same.

Using the fourth level (-vvvv) to enable all the logging
that old level three did.
