[dm-devel] log_enqueue frequently overruns log_area

[Benjamin Marzinski]

After seeing multipathd not logging what I was expecting it to, I checked to
see if it was ever dropping messages, and it was. In fact, I get dropped
messages on start up most of the time. The attached patch, against
multipath-tools-0.4.4-pre16, doubles the default logarea size. At that size,
I haven't seen any dropped messages. I'm not sure that this is the right
size, but it definitely works better for me.
