Correct, this is all for consistency.

Thanks!
It might be worth concatenating the errmsg() while there since we typically
don't linebreak errmsg strings anymore for greppability:
- errmsg("could not write to log file %s "
- "at offset %u, length %zu: %m",
+ errmsg("could not write to log file \"%s\" at offset %u, length %zu:
%m",
I don't have strong feelings wrt that, just have a vague memory of "concatenate
when touching" as an informal guideline.
