Hi all,

I'm running an installation on which I get the above message in the syslog every 30 Secs.

As I don't find any additional info google'ing the message I hope one of you has a hint...

The error you're seeing occurs during auto-ballooning... Not sure why though.

Could you start pvestatd in debug mode and post your output?

Code: 
# pvestatd stop
# pvestatd start --debug
... wait a few minutes, you should see logs appearing ...
... then, kill pvestatd (might need to do this from another terminal/session via 'pkill pvestatd' ...
# pvestatd start
 
Hi Stefan,
