Help on messages in log

[Ernie95]

Hi,

My log of PVE node shows (via journal ctl command):

Oct 31 12:16:51 pve pveproxy[3297328]: got inotify poll request in wrong process - disabling inotify
Oct 31 14:23:51 pve pveproxy[3375100]: got inotify poll request in wrong process - disabling inotify
Oct 31 17:11:24 pve pvedaemon[3448328]: authentication failure; rhost=::ffff:192.168.150.57 user=root@pam msg=Authentication failure

1) For inotify how can I identify the origine ? Any idea of solutions ?
I supposed that it comes form notification tool of PVE but if I disable notification, I have always the message.
I read in the forum that potentially 'pvecm updatecerts' will solve but not my case

2) At each connection to PVE via webgui I have the authentication failure message. But no issue, the connection works in the webgui. Any idea ?

Thanks for any inputs.

got inotify poll request in wrong process - disabling inotify appears to be very common: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/s...abling-inotify-log-message.129902/post-569431

Thanks. But is it a critical error or not ?

Hi All,
How can I identify the source of this message ( pve pveproxy[3375100]: got inotify poll request in wrong process - disabling inotify) ?

I have about 20-30 per day.

Thanks

The source is pveproxy as per your log. Also see code here: https://github.com/proxmox/pve-comm...b3d5851a0a825ac9566a1/src/PVE/INotify.pm#L385
