Messages logfile contains a repeating error message

[Paul_oz53]

Everything seems fine with the T4 so this post is more out of curiosity. While delving into some other networking things I opened the messages file in /var/log. I note it contains a lot of messages that repeat, namely:

Code: Select all

The two IP addresses in the code sample are for the T4 and T3 respectively. This repeats at 5 min intervals so I think it is simply the master browser (the T4) polling at that frequency.

The T4 was recording to its internal HDD at the time so it seems the "error" is really just a warning. There are no NFS devices in my setup and all our recordings play normally and transfer to the PC with minimal effort and no fuss.

I assume it is safe to ignore the message...
