Hi,
just upgraded my PVE and now see this in the syslog? I don't use IPv6 and issuing the command it suggest just brings up the help for that command. What will I need do to get rid of this please? Don't think a "restore" is the way to go, is it?

Code:
Oct 15 14:49:44 pve-firewall[931]: status update error: iptables_restore_cmdlist: Try `ip6tables-restore -h' or 'ip6tables-restore --help' for more information.
 
No one has an idea of why an upgrade suddenly is filling my log with the above?? right now it's 15409 lines of the above... Please help me understand why? Will I have to turn off something that is already off? I have disabled IPv6 rntirely, may that be it?
Log is useless with all this clutter... :/

Same here. Any solution to that?
 
~# diff /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Firewall.pm.orig /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Firewall.pm.ipv6-disabled
1913c1913
< run_command(['ip6tables-restore', '-T', $table, '-n'], input => $cmdlist, errmsg => "iptables_restore_cmdlist");
---
> #run_command(['ip6tables-restore', '-T', $table, '-n'], input => $cmdlist, errmsg => "iptables_restore_cmdlist");

After making changes reboot or (/usr/sbin/pve-firewall stop;/usr/sbin/pve-firewall start)

Will it stick after upgrades? Great to comment out the message, but would be better if Proxmox handled this better. One probably want this in some circumstances, but not at the frequency it is now. But hey, can't please all. It's easy enough to filter out if the log is needed
