Hello,

Since a few versions back I see a lot of avahi errors in the log.

Being a beginner i have no idea what might cause them and how to make them stop. Tried tthe search of course but all i could find were some refferences to IPv6. I think i have disabled IPv6 in all my jails but the errors keep showing up.

I do not have much experience with the system so please go easy on me. I solved some issues in the past by reading this forum, for which I would like to thank everyone :smile:

My system is:

TrueNAS-12.0-U5
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10600T CPU @ 2.40GHz
Motherboard: AsRock B560 Steel Legend
RAM: 32 GB Cirsair Vengeance LPX Black CL14
Boot Pool: Mirror OCZ Vertex3 NVME & Adata SwordFish SSD
Storage: 6 x Samsung SSD EVO 860 2TB configured as 3 separate Mirrors.

Can someone point me in the right direction please ?

Thank you.

Hello! I also get these error messages but I haven't found a solution yet either. Please does anyone know of a fix, or at least a reason?

I do not think the error code has anything to do with the problem. Mine shows now 1474.
The log is full of these errors.

I spent many many hours trying to find an answer to this one , no success.

The numbers you guys are quoting appears to be the process ID.

Just chiming in and resurrecting this old thread to remind that this is still an issue. I would be happy to have a workaround, even when the Avahi guys don't fix the problem. The log pollution is annoying when you look for some real issues.

Is the only solution switching off Avahi?

From the Github discussion @jgreco mentioned, there seems to be a temporary fix with

Code:
publish-addresses=yes
publish-hinfo=no
publish-workstation=no
publish-domain=no
publish-resolv-conf-dns-servers=no
publish-aaaa-on-ipv4=no
publish-a-on-ipv6=no


but where do I put it in the TrueNAS system?
