Hi All,

My PVE host starting to show on display this messages (I copied them from /var/log/messages):

Code:

They weren't there before.

It was starting after I re-install PVE on my server with two system SSD disks in the ZFS RAID1 option.
All network setup was by default except I set IP address, mask, gateway and DNS-server for network card manually.

Before this installation was PVE installation with one system SSD disk in the LVM option - there were no these messages.

Why might these messages appear? How to fix it?

Some additional information about the server's network card (integrated on motherboard):

P.S. I do not exclude that I could change something in the BIOS settings of the server when I installed the second system disk. But I think that I did not change anything in the settings of the integrated network card.

I discovered mine errors were generated by LXC containers.
I started to turn off one by one, my problems were on docker and WatchYourLan... so FOR NOW both of them are disabled.
