Re: [pfSense] PFsense 2.3.2-P1 dies
This server has been running for years under 2.2 with no issues. As soon as I upgraded to 2.3.2-P1 it dies when the logs reach 500k The first thing to stop is the OpenVPN service, once that dies the web console dies. The console is fine and there are no messages. You can gain shell access and navigate around the machine no problem, so to confirm it is running normally, however its whichever log reaches 500k then those parts die. The only way to resolve is to reboot. It seems like the clogs aren't recycling as they should. I have tried resetting the logs and reticking the box in log settings, but it still happens every 1-2 days. I have a lot of OpenVPN users, which is why i suspect that log file goes first.

That's interesting, we had a drive that kept dropping out and we couldn't figure out why as all tests passed. We replaced the drive and then found the "Hard disk standby time" setting was set. Turned that off and it's been fine. That setting has been my suspicion... At the time the console would show a stream of errors that pointed to the drive, don't recall them now of course. -- Steve Yates ITS, Inc. -Original Message- I had an issue at one point with hard disks dropping out because of the idle time set on my Western Digital drives.

You say you just upgraded. >From what version? I did not see it until v2. You also say that logs hit 500k, I assume that is an estimate, but did you console in and check things out. Are the drives active? Do you have some IPMI that you can connect to and see what is really going on. If the drives are getting dropped, then no logs get logged. You could also push your logs to a remote syslog server. ___ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold

[pfSense] PFsense 2.3.2-P1 dies
Hi, I recently updated to 2.3.2-P1 and now when the system logs reach 500k, the firewall dies and everything stops, like OpenVPN. I tried resetting the values in the log settings, but it still happens. Is this a known issue?
