I don't know. Today I see the value 10 some places...

I just think level 0 is used too much.
Split level 0 to 0 and 1 (Make default 1)
1 is fine as 2
2 is fine as 3
All above 3 -> 3

-1 Error
0. Important/overwiev/no values  (mounting, setting limits, starting up ...)
1. Info (Memory/CPU values)
2. verbose (Quota values, script names, mount point name)
3. debug (Ignored parameter, open tty, set iptables mask)
