Subject: [PATCH] environment: "wrong magic" give the impression of an error
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 07:00:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160922050041.GA12923@ravnborg.org> (raw)

From 144e3252f9604e44c48f90735489611f636e3e36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] environment: "wrong magic" give the impression of an
 error

Introduce a more soft wording when the magic of
the superblock does not match.
Include a hint to the typical reason "(envfs never written?)"

This prevents a "what is wrong?" moment when looking at
the boot log.
