Dear Linux folks,
A disk died on an old system, and is not displayed by `lsblk` anymore
after a reboot. I would have expected such an event be logged with a
severe level.

The xfermode message is logged as an error, but I have system, where the
device is still functional. The actual disabled message is “only” logged
as a warning.
Is there a way to improve the logging, and log a failed initialization
of a disk with a higher level? Maybe even critical or alert?
Kind regards,
Paul
