It means that a disk change was detected. 16 and 40 are hex numbers, which correspond to 22 and 64 decimal. Then, from Documentation/devices.txt in the kernel sources: 22 [[... SNIP ...]] block Second IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface 0 = /dev/hdc Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM) 64 = /dev/hdd Slave: whole disk (or CD-ROM) So, 16:40 corresponds to /dev/hdd. You probably changed CDs in the CD-ROM attached as slave to the second IDE interface. > VFS might mean "Virtual File System" but what about the rest of it? That'd be my guess, but i could easily be wrong... Anyone know for sure? > And does VFS = swap? Nope, swap space isn't in the file system... And if your swap space is on a media that has a disk change, something's probably not right... -- finger for GPG public key. 8 Jan 2000 - Old email addresses removed from key, new added
