How to fix... Logs spammed with service related to software no longer installed

[jmadrone]

I installed a program called ExpanDrive on my Proxmox VE host at one time; its command-line program was named

exfs

. I've since removed and purged this software, yet my system logs at

/var/log/syslog

continue to include massive numbers of entries related to expandrive, which doesn't exist anymore.

How can I resolve this? Thanks in advance for your help!

This simply indicates that you did not purge the extra software as well as you think you did.
At the very least there is a systemd unit file that still refers to it in some way. You can execute "systemctl|grep expand" to find the reference to it. You can then disable the service.

Good luck
