suffer from dmesg filling up with this set of messages?

Those are purely informational kernel logs which the ivtv driver logs anytime
the BCS or Hue info is set. ... They do not adversely affect your system
in anyway.

Thanks, but I'd still like to supress them if possible. They seem to
fill up whatever buffer I'm looking at when I run dmesg and therefore
stop me from seeing other messages that are of more interest. (Such as
removable media messages that happened 1-2 days earlier.)


The dmesg program is meant to allow you to print or control the kernel's ring buffer. All the information that appears in the kernel ring buffer should also be output to your log files (assuming your system logging is set up properly) with the exception of some bootup messages (i.e. those written before your system logger was started).

Therefore, use your system log file (i.e. /var/log/messages or /var/log/everything or something) to find the "old" information. If you're concerned that you're losing bootup information, just have your startup scripts dump the boot messages to a file just after the system logger is started, i.e.

dmesg > /var/log/boot.messages

Any ideas on how to turn them off?
