[erlang-questions] Tracking progress of mnesia start

[Attila Rajmund Nohl]

Hello!

I'd like to provide feedback to the user when mnesia is started in out
application (something like "4 out of 16 tables loaded"). My first
idea was to mnesia:subscribe for events, but I can subscribe only
after mnesia is started, so I might miss some tables. My second idea
is to turn on debugging, add an event module (both via setting
environment values). It kind of works, I receive events like

{mnesia_system_event,
             {mnesia_info,
                 "Table ~w is loaded on ~w. s=~w, r=~w, lc=~w, f=~w, m=~w~n",
                 [album,'c3@REDACTED',ram_copies,nowhere,false,false,false]}},

but it depends on the format of debugging message and even though this
message hasn't changed in the last 7 years, I'm a bit uneasy about it.
Do you have any better idea?
