Weird logs on Debian 11 + OwaSys 547

Board Integrations Debian family

With every update check there is these 4 log entries. These spam the log and waste the limited space on the device.

What is producing these entries? Is it part of the identity process?

Hi @stefan-novaziun,

Without more context, I’d guess that it is a side effect of this script: mender/support/mender-inventory-network at master · mendersoftware/mender · GitHub

Possibly the bonding_masters interface shows up but exhibits a different directory tree / file level API than expected from a standard interface. The proper way forward would probably be to extend the mender-inventory-network script accordingly (PRs accepted), alternatively you can try to just add a filter or such to silence it on your device.

Greetz,
Josef
