Title: devd spam on remote syslog - VMware
Post by: jason1976 on March 04, 2017, 06:45:09 pm

Hi all,

I am running OPNsense 17.1.2-amd64 on VMware ESXi 6.0 U2.

I continuously get the following message on my remote syslog server, every second or so:

devd: Processing event '!system=CAM subsystem=periph type=error device=cd0 serial="10000000000000000001" cam_status="0xcc" scsi_status=2 scsi_sense="70 02 3a 00" CDB="00 00 00 00 00 00 " '

Now I have tried to run "devd" with option "-q" which allows devd to only log error messages WARN or above to syslog. The system refuses to start "devd" with the "-q" option on boot even though I have set /etc/rc.conf to:

devd_enable="YES"       # Run devd, to trigger programs on device tree changes.
devd_flags="-q"         # Additional flags for devd(8).

Still, no matter what I do I cannot get this option applied on boot. Only after I restart the service via /etc/rc.d/devd stop and start can I get the process to run with the "-q" option.

I'm not a BSD expert - any idea why my /etc/rc.conf is being ignored on boot?
