Linux下dmesg命令处理故障和收集系统信息的7种用法-51CTO.COM

‘dmesg’命令显示linux内核的环形缓冲区信息，我们可以从中获得诸如系统架构、cpu、挂载的硬件，RAM等多个运行级别的大量的系统信息。当计算机启动时，系统内核（操作系统的核心部分）将会被加载到内存中。在加载的过程中会显示很多的信息，在这些信息中我们可以看到内核检测硬件设备。

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。

# 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。

[root@tecmint.com ~]# dmesg | more
[root@tecmint.com ~]# dmesg | less

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：

[root@tecmint.com ~]# dmesg | grep sda
 
[    1.280971] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 488281250 512-byte logical blocks: (250 GB/232 GiB)

[    1.281039] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
[    1.359585]  sda: sda1 sda2 < sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 >

[   23.950543] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro
[   24.134016] EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
[   24.330762] EXT4-fs (sda7): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
[   24.561015] EXT4-fs (sda8): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)

注解 ‘sda’表示***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。

[root@tecmint.com ~]# dmesg | head  -20

[    0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000007dc5ec00-0x000000007fffffff] reserved

4. 只输出dmesg命令***20行日志

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

[root@tecmint.com ~]# dmesg | tail -20

readahead-collector: starting delayed service auditd

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。

[root@tecmint.com log]# dmesg | grep -i usb
[root@tecmint.com log]# dmesg | grep -i dma
[root@tecmint.com log]# dmesg | grep -i tty
[root@tecmint.com log]# dmesg | grep -i memory

输出

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。

[root@tecmint.com 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。

[root@tecmint.com 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。
