Since a while now i get this error flooding xsession-errors log when i run wine on ubuntu i386:

fixme:ntdll:server_ioctl_file Unsupported ioctl 24000 (device=2 access=1 func=0 method=0)

i wonder if its a linux kernel message or a wine one ? and what to do ?

This is Wine's. If your program continues to work, do nothing but
watch them scroll by. If they really bother you, you can do the
following:

WINEDEBUG=-all wine <program name>

Thanks,
the main issue seems only to be that log flooding. Even the latest rc5 have not reduced it (prog is metaquotes MT4/MT5)

Sorry for digging this up but nowadays the kernel also logs this in dmesg, as well as syslog picking it up and putting it in /var/log/message

With programs like emule that almost continuously "scan" the drives it seems the logs get *flooded* with the message, and it's hard to actually read it without grepping them out, let alone the filesizes if you don't have logrotate managing your logs.

This is with wine-1.7.39 on Linux 3.19.0 (gentoo, amd64).
