will be saved elsewhere and erased from persistent store
soon after boot to free up space ready for the next
catastrophe.

+ The 'kmsg_bytes' mount option changes the target amount of

+ multiple) files based on the record size of the underlying
+ persistent storage until at least this amount is reached.
+ Default is 10 Kbytes.
