dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. When the
Linux kernel prints messages to the system log, they are stored in
the kernel ring buffer. You can use dmesg to print the kernel's ring
buffer, clear the kernel ring buffer, change the size of the kernel
ring buffer, and change the priority level at which kernel messages
are also logged to the system console. Enable this option if you
wish to enable the 'dmesg' utility.

Enabling this feature allows automatic mounting of files (containing
filesystem images) via the linux kernel's loopback devices. The mount
command will detect you are trying to mount a file instead of a block
device, and transparently associate the file with a loopback device.
The umount command will also free that loopback device.

You can still use the 'losetup' utility (to manually associate files
with loop devices) if you need to do something advanced, such as
specify an offset or cryptographic options to the loopback device.

Historically, Unix systems kept track of the currently mounted
partitions in the file "/etc/mtab". These days, the kernel exports
the list of currently mounted partitions in "/proc/mounts", rendering
the old mtab file obsolete. (In modern systems, /etc/mtab should be
a symlink to /proc/mounts.)
The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
that your /etc directory be writeable, tends to get easily confused
by --bind or --move mounts, and so on. (In brief: avoid.)
