After upgrading to PVE 8.1 (8.1.4) I am having a problem with the USB connection to my UPS (Salicru / Phoenixtec Power Co.) which gets lost after apprx 1.5 days. It was properly working under PVE 7.x. When I restart the server or reconnect the USB cable manually it is working for another 1.5 days before it fails again. I changed the USB cable and the USB port without any effect.

The log file gets flooded by this:
Code:

What could I try to do to solve this issue. It is strange that it is always stops working after 1.5 days...

Thanks :)
