From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15-config.2 i686) Redhat 7.1 beta release (7.0.90 Fisher), once booted, continuously adds VFS change messages for cd rom devices. This behavior occurs for both SCSI and IDE cd rom drives. The file /var/log/dmesg does NOT record these messages. The error is not fatal, and dmesg reports are still available in the /var/log/dmesg file; it's merely an irritation. This bug was reported for RH 6.2, #13304, but has not yet been reported for 7.1 beta (Fisher). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH 7.1 beta (Fisher) on a machine with a cd rom drive. 2. View dmesg, VFS error will appear continuously (checked while in runlevel 5). Actual Results: On SCSI or IDE machines, cd rom drive message appears continuously (sample is for SCSI cd rom drive): VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0) This message does not appear in /var/log/dmesg. Expected Results: VFS disk change message should not occur. "dmesg" results should be available in /var/log/dmesg (in this case it is fortunate, it prevents logs from filling up the partition; it is, however, a bug that it doesn't show up). It appears that this message shows up only for cd roms. Machines tested were SMP. Errors continue even if using a 2.4.2 kernel instead of RH stock kernel.
I think this is a dup of a previous bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 6006 ***
