Given that the module is raid456.ko, how about this? There are lots of error message that say 'raid5' too....
Yes, and lots of log watching programs which know about them. I bet they don't know raid456, though, and will either miss them or report them as "unknown error" on the scan. Do we really need a cosmetic change which will require a functional change with no gain in function?
