功能說明:
功能說明:顯示開機資訊。
語 法:dmesg [-cn][-s <緩沖區大小>]
補充說明:kernel會将開機資訊存儲在ring buffer中。您若是開機時來不及檢視資訊,可利用dmesg來檢視。開機資訊亦儲存在/var/log目錄中,名稱為dmesg的檔案裡。
參 數:
-c 顯示資訊後,清除ring buffer中的内容。
-s<緩沖區大小> 預設定為8196,剛好等于ring buffer的大小。
-n 設定記錄資訊的層級。
擴充閱讀一:dmesg指令主要用途
主要應用:
dmesg用來顯示核心環緩沖區(kernel-ring buffer)内容,核心将各種消息存放在這裡。在系統引導時,核心将與硬體和子產品初始化相關的資訊填到這個緩沖區中。核心環緩沖區中的消息對于診斷系統問題 通常非常有用。在運作dmesg時,它顯示大量資訊。通常通過less或grep使用管道檢視dmesg的輸出,這樣可以更容易找到待查資訊。例如,如果發現硬碟性能低下,可以使用dmesg來檢查它們是否運作在DMA模式:
$dmesg | grep DMA
...
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
上面幾行可以說明每個IDE裝置正在什麼模式下運作。如果以太網連接配接出現問題,那麼可以在dmesg日志中搜尋eth:
$dmesg | grep eth
forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce
ethernet driver. Version 0.49.
eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 0147b:1c00
bound to 0000:00:04.0
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
如果一切正常,那麼dmesg顯示每個網卡的硬體配置資訊。如果某項系統服務未能得到正确的配置,dmesgdmesg >boot.messages
