Hi,

I don't understand why, and I find nothing on the web.
My syslog and userlog will write the same message :

Code:
pve QEMU[2258]: kvm: GLib: g_source_ref: assertion 'g_atomic_int_get (&source->ref_count) >= 0' failed

Of course, size of user.log and syslog will be critical until i've no space on the disk.

My pve is
Code:
pve-manager/8.2.4/faa83925c9641325 (running kernel: 6.8.12-1-pve)

Thanks for your help !
 
Can you please post the full output of the `pveversion -v`?

Do you see anything other the above entry in the syslog? you can try to run `journalctl -xe` command you can check the `dmesg`.

I see "normal" syslog with exchange with proxmox and classical life :).

I know it is not a good idea but before restarting the server, i add on crontab a small batch which delete syslog and userlog every 30min then restart the rsyslog service.

Now, i've stop this crontab entry. I have restarted the whole server, the syslog and userlog will not write these lines. Maybe for few hours.

journalctl -xe will return the restart of the rsyslog service.
on dmesg, during the starting, i've some ACPI errors (maybe normal) and one error linked to the BT.
Everything is okay.
