is there any way to reduce the log-spam of the VDP appliance
fresh deployment of vSphereDataProtection-6.1.5.ova at 2016-12-06 and until tody 280 such 25 MB files
since the appliance itself is thin-provisioned on NFS that thing grows useless and 50-75 MB per day is way too much
what makes this also bad is that on NFS UNMAp don't work and we copy the whole appliance regulary to a USB3 harddisk with "cp -R --sparse=always"
at the bottom a log-sample - frankly if something goes wrong i prefer re-deploy anyways
