open-vm-tools floods logs
Hi there,
I’m using Alpine v 3.7.0 and system installed open-vm-tools. But it floods /var/log/vmware-vmsvc.log.
It logs A LOT of “[Jan 29 23:57:12.616] [ warning] [guestinfo] Failed to get nic info.” warnings.
Sometimes it logs something like this
[Jan 30 00:18:12.639] [ warning] [guestinfo] Failed to get nic
info.
