Thanks to many including Dr. Tom Blinn. Summary is--dtadvfs is
main thing that is using advfsd and if you're not going to use
dtadvfs you can turn off advfsd. So I did, and the log file
stopped growing.

Probably. The evidence you've gathered certainly points that way.

No, you don't need to run advfsd at all, and if you are not going to
try to use dtadvfs, you probably should just turn it off.
