Ouch. FWIW, I was moved to do this because I saw this conversation on
IRC which made me think that people aren't understanding what the
message means:

<nick1>       hi! I noticed bdev rd 13  as a kernel message
<nick1>       what does it mean
<nick2>       Well, that's not the whole message.
<nick2>       Can you paste the whole line in here? (Just one line)
<nick1>       [    3.404959] BTRFS info (device sda4): bdev /dev/sda4 errs: wr 0, rd 13, flush 0, corrupt 0, gen 0


Maybe something like this would be better:

BTRFS info (device sda4): disk /dev/sda4 errors: write 0, read 13, flush 0, corrupt 0, generation 0

   ^^ nick2... that would be me. :)

   I think the single most helpful modification here would be to
change "device" to "fs on", to show that it's only an indicator of the
filesystem ID, rather than actually the device on which the errors
occurred. The others I'm not really bothered about, personally.

   Hugo.
