NFS Mount Causing Logs To Get Spammed

[Urban]

While diagnosing a separate issue a helpful moderator on here noticed that my logs were being spammed. Looking at them I know exactly what is causing it. I have set up my Unraid server to be used as external backup for a Proxmox server I'm using to separate some services on different hardware. I created a dedicated share on Unraid and pointed Proxmox to that share and everything has been working correctly but unknowingly this has been spamming my logs and I can't figure out why. If I disable the connection on Proxmox the log spam stops. Any idea why this is happening and how I can stop it?

Any help with this at all?

Looks like the servers are connecting every 10 seconds. Is there an option in Proxmox to keep the connection open or increase the time between reconnection / connection check ?

I found an old thread where a Proxmox dev stated "Hi Every 10s seconds, we check the status of the NFS server with 'showmount' and then gather statistics about disk usage *if* 'showmount' successfull. We need to report early if a NFS server is down, hence the regular check.".

 

There doesn't seem to be an easy toggle or anything. I see some later threads about the issue with workarounds for FreeNAS. Ill see if I can gather info from those and apply it to Unraid. If that fails is there a command I can use on Unraid to disable all logs related to NFS?

There is two posts here explaining how to it with FreeNAS but I have no experience to know how to translate it to Unraid. I also feel like simply disabling NFS based logs would work as well if that is possible.
