Neat idea -- but it breaks /etc/init.d/bootlogs:
[...]
# Save kernel messages in /var/log/dmesg
if which dmesg >/dev/null 2>&1
then
[ -f /var/log/dmesg ] && savelog -q -p -c 5 /var/log/dmesg
dmesg -s 524288 > /var/log/dmesg
chgrp adm /var/log/dmesg || :
elif [ -c /dev/klog ]
then
[ -f /var/log/dmesg ] && savelog -q -p -c 5 /var/log/dmesg
dd if=/dev/klog of=/var/log/dmesg &
sleep 1
kill $!
[ -f /var/log/dmesg ] && { chgrp adm /var/log/dmesg || : ; }
fi
[...]
Previously, we'd take the [ -c /dev/klog ] path; now we get a (non-fatal)
error at boot: ``cat: /var/log/dmesg: input file is output file'', and
/var/log/dmesg is then empty.
