Linux dmesg命令

Linux dmesg命令

Linux 命令大全

Linux dmesg命令用于显示开机信息。

kernel会将开机信息存储在ring buffer中。您若是开机时来不及查看信息，可利用dmesg来查看。开机信息亦保存在/var/log目录中，名称为dmesg的文件里。

语法

dmesg [-cn][-s <缓冲区大小>]

复制

参数说明：

• -c 　显示信息后，清除ring buffer中的内容。
• -s<缓冲区大小> 　预设置为8196，刚好等于ring buffer的大小。
• -n 　设置记录信息的层级。

dmesg 命令的使用范例

‘dmesg’命令设备故障的诊断是非常重要的。在‘dmesg’命令的帮助下进行硬件的连接或断开连接操作时，我们可以看到硬件的检测或者断开连接的信息。‘dmesg’命令在多数基于Linux和Unix的操作系统中都可以使用。

下面我们展示一些最负盛名的‘dmesg’命令工具以及其实际使用举例。‘dmesg’命令的使用语法如下。

1. # dmesg [options…]

1. 列出加载到内核中的所有驱动

我们可以使用如‘more’。 ‘tail’, ‘less ’或者‘grep’文字处理工具来处理‘dmesg’命令的输出。由于dmesg日志的输出不适合在一页中完全显示，因此我们使用管道（pipe）将其输出送到more或者less命令单页显示。

1. [[email protected] ~]# dmesg | more
2. [[email protected] ~]# dmesg | less

输出

2. 列出所有被检测到的硬件

要显示所有被内核检测到的硬盘设备，你可以使用‘grep’命令搜索‘sda’关键词，如下：

1. [[email protected] ~]# dmesg | grep sda
2. [1.280971] sd 2:0:0:0:[sda]488281250512–byte logical blocks:(250 GB/232GiB)
3. [1.281014] sd 2:0:0:0:[sda]WriteProtectis off
4. [1.281016] sd 2:0:0:0:[sda]ModeSense:003a0000
5. [1.281039] sd 2:0:0:0:[sda]Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn‘t support DPO or FUA
6. [ 1.359585] sda: sda1 sda2 < sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 >
7. [ 1.360052] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk
8. [ 2.347887] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
9. [ 22.928440] Adding 3905532k swap on /dev/sda6. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:3905532k FS
10. [ 23.950543] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro
11. [ 24.134016] EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
12. [ 24.330762] EXT4-fs (sda7): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
13. [ 24.561015] EXT4-fs (sda8): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)

注解 ‘sda’表示第一块 SATA硬盘，‘sdb’表示第二块SATA硬盘。若想查看IDE硬盘搜索‘hda’或‘hdb’关键词。

3. 只输出dmesg命令的前20行日志

在‘dmesg’命令后跟随‘head’命令来显示开始几行，‘dmesg | head -20′命令将显示开始的前20行。

1. [[email protected] ~]# dmesg | head –20
2. [0.000000]Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset
3. [0.000000]Initializing cgroup subsys cpu
4. [0.000000]Initializing cgroup subsys cpuacct

4. 只输出dmesg命令最后20行日志

在‘dmesg’命令后跟随‘tail’命令（‘ dmesg | tail -20’）来输出‘dmesg’命令的最后20行日志，当你插入可移动设备时它是非常有用的。

1. [[email protected] ~]# dmesg | tail –20
2. parport0: PC–style at 0x378, irq 7[PCSPP,TRISTATE]
3. ppdev: user–space parallel port driver

19. readahead–collector: starting delayed service auditd
20. readahead–collector: sorting
21. readahead–collector: finished

5. 搜索包含特定字符串的被检测到的硬件

由于‘dmesg’命令的输出实在太长了，在其中搜索某个特定的字符串是非常困难的。因此，有必要过滤出一些包含‘usb’ ‘dma’ ‘tty’ ‘memory’等字符串的日志行。grep 命令 的‘-i’选项表示忽略大小写。

1. [[email protected] log]# dmesg | grep –i usb
2. [[email protected] log]# dmesg | grep –i dma
3. [[email protected] log]# dmesg | grep –i tty
4. [[email protected] log]# dmesg | grep –i memory

6. 清空dmesg缓冲区日志

我们可以使用如下命令来清空dmesg的日志。该命令会清空dmesg环形缓冲区中的日志。但是你依然可以查看存储在‘/var/log/dmesg’文件中的日志。你连接任何的设备都会产生dmesg日志输出。

1. [[email protected] log]# dmesg –c

7. 实时监控dmesg日志输出

在某些发行版中可以使用命令‘tail -f /var/log/dmesg’来实时监控dmesg的日志输出。

1. [[email protected] log]# watch “dmesg | tail -20”

结论：dmesg命令在系统dmesg记录实时更改或产生的情况下是非常有用的。你可以使用man dmesg来获取更多关于dmesg的信息。
