Given a wrong root device, current log may not give the pretty name which is useful to locate root cause. For example, there are 2 blk devs in a VM, /dev/vda which has 2 partitials /dev/vda1 and /dev/vda2 and /dev/vdb which is blank. /dev/vda2 is the right root dev. When set "root=/dev/vdb", we get error log: [ 0.635575] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(254,16) It's not straightforward to find out the root cause as there is lack of the root devive name therefore hard for people to get those info from the device number, in the example, (254,16). It is more comprehensive way to hint the root cause if pretty name is given here, like: [ 0.559887] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on "/dev/vdb" or unknown-block(254,16) Signed-off-by: Jianyong Wu <jianyong.wu@arm.com> Message-Id: <20230907091025.3436878-1-jianyong.wu@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> |
