Hi misc@,
I've been using a edge router lite for the past one and a half year as my
home router. (providing a few network services, besides that it has an
ipsec tunnel setup similar to dn42.net implementation)
I'm running a few daemons, mostly from base:
nsd, unbound, ntpd, bgpd, isakmpd, dhcpd, relayd, httpd, slowcgi, rtadvd
And a few from ports:
vnstatd, igmpproxy, arpwatch
In the last 30 days, a strange behaviour has been introduced on this device.
When the system is upgraded, either using bsd.rd or doing a binary upgrade,
*sometimes* the system livelocks.
One is able to login using the serial console, but shortly after a massive
slowdown occurs, rendering the system unusable.
Powercycling makes the box usable again. Sometimes not on the first try.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to spot any interesting message on dmesg
and/or logfiles.
Please let me know what additional information is needed in order to debug
this.
Does it seem to take a certain number of days before the system slow
down occurs, or can it happen after a few hours of uptime?
