Hey folks,
I'm on unraid 6.12.14 I use 2 vms, and Im having issues with my /var/log/libvrt/libvrtd.log
Filing up with
warning: qemuDomainObjTaintMsg:6464 : Domain id=[id] name=[name] uuid=[uuid] tainted: custom-monior
for each machine, every 3ish seconds.
2vms, different operating systems.
Getting about an MB a day of this.
Can't find anything online and would love advice, thank you

I don't suppose you've had a chance to take a look?

Not been able to reproduce, Do you have any process that is using qemu monitor to query data?

 

i.e. virsh qemu-monitor-command I have been trying to replicate on my 6.12.15 test server and dont see any logs.

Not that I've set up, unless unraid does something out of the box? I could run some commands to check whatever you need
ps -ef|grep-i virsh
ps -ef|grep qemu-monitor-command
don't give me results

Do you have any idea what "tainted: custom-monior" could mean? Not a lot about that on google

tainted normally meant that you have used qemu commands in the xml or you have run a command into the guest from the host.

I totally missed this reply, thank you. I don't suppose you could please help me figure it out? I don't think I've done either of those things, and this log thing is a growing problem

Are you able to upgrade to 7? as this has newer versions of QEMU+ Libvirt?

Hm, fair. I'm always paranoid of major upgrades, was gonna give it a couple of months. But ok, I'll upgrade and see if it's still happening. No issues with leaving macvlan post upgrade? I still use that

Not sure macvlan. Do you use GPU stat and monitor a GPU that gets bound to vfio?

Sorry for the delayed response, there have been some disasters recently.

I don't know about vfio, but yes, 1 of the 2 vms I've got running has a GPU passed through to it. I don't think I have GPU stat, but I do have the nvidia driver plugin installed.
