Hi, guys.

Every reboot of host shows Aug 28 08:07:05 hq systemd[1]: Failed to start Proxmox VE replication runner. But I don't use any replications,
So is it possible to disable that tries of starting that service?
 
Hi,
what is the output of pveversion -v and systemctl status pvesr.service pvesr.timer? That service shouldn't even exist anymore since Proxmox VE 7.1, as it got replaced by pvescheduler.service.

Yes, IIRC you can also use systemctl disable pvesr.timer to do so.
