This is great idea for debugging!

I think the messages (srb errors) we want to log in this patch are real errors. They are not for debugging, but for customer support in production environment.

Those errors can be ignored in certain specific storage configurations due to some quirks. They are real errors on Azure, so we want to always log them.
