I don't recall ever seeing this so frequently before. I don't see it on any other nodes in this cluster (this is a homelab). Any guidance on what I should be looking at would be greatly appreciated

I just want to bump this again. Looking for some direction.

I did notice my systemctl log-level is debug on this node. Not sure if related. I tried to change it to info however I am not 100% certain what I need to restart to get it to stick. The change also doesn't seem to survive a reboot.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
you might want to check if any of the configuration files mentioned in man 5 systemd-system.conf configure the log level.

Hi,

/etc/systemd/system.conf in my instance was all defaults (everything commented out). So it looked like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= had debug enabled there. Removed it. Problem solved. Fresh boot:

# systemctl log-level
info

Thanks for getting me going in the right direction.

Now if only I could remember why I enabled it and when....
