If it's really necessary to change the wording of the log messages which people have got used to, the new ones should be really more self-explanatory than the old ones. The common "setting: " formatting is nice but IMHO this alone doesn't really justify overthrowing old habits.

These settings come from hwentries, so in reality they're either part of the built-in hwtable or of the multipath.conf "devices" section, or am I wrong here? > internal default -> setting: multipath internal > > overrides setting -> setting: multipath.conf overrides section > > LUN setting -> setting: multipath.conf multipaths section > > config file default > config file setting -> setting: multipath.conf defaults/devices > section Have you double-checked if this is correct for all options? It would be helpful for users to be able to distinguish which config file section the option was taken from (defaults/devices/multipaths/overrides). The same argument applies to the hardware enries - being able to distinguish built in hardware defaults from config file "devices" settings would be really helpful, but this patch doesn't provide that functionality.
