Hello everyone,

My /var/log/vzctl.log file is displaying the following over and over...

That's just for 2 containers, it does that for any container running. Once it reaches the last one, it pauses for about 5 seconds, then starts all over again.

It looks like it's been happening for awhile, but the logs have been increasing every month (my containers have also increased)

Nov - 115MB (since the 22nd)
Dec - 2.7GB
Jan - 4.3GB
Feb - 4.7GB
March - 2.1GB (15 days since log rotation)

How do I find out what the cause is and how do I go about fixing this?

OS: Debian Squeeze 6.0.4
Kernel: 2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64

Thanks!
