Hide info messages "deleting peer with id" from dmesg #53

Hi

How can I hide dmesg/syslog messages such as tun*: deleting peer with id 0, reason 2 or move it to openvpn.log?

It is printed on the INFO kernel loglevel, so you should set your whole kernel log level to something lower than that, but it is not recommended. Does it bother you? I thought it is useful to check when and why dco is deleting a peer.

OpenVPN in userspace should already separately log this kind of activity (when the right log level is enabled), but the fact that userspace is sending a command to DCO doesn't mean that DCO will properly execute it. This is why having that message in the kernel log is still useful.

Exactly But maybe add some option to enable/disable these messages? when there is nothing and suddenly these messages start constantly appearing

Yeah, ideally the debugging system will be extended/improved in the future. If you have any specific idea, feel free to drop a patch!
