@stephenw10 Do you by chance have any advice on this one? 'pooling' port and vLANs

For reference: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/multiple-disks.html#clear-the-disk

@stephenw10 Done! Thank you sir.

I had the same exact issue with my box. First couldn't update to 2.7.2 from 2.7.0 due to a bug with cert hashes. Had to run certctl rehash to update then after the update it wouldn't boot with no real error message. Luckily I stumbled on this thread. I was surprised to find that indeed using boot menu options 7 5 5 1 1 booted fine, but as they said above it's an every boot thing. My Lenovo M90q doesn't have a serial port so I attached a USB serial port which didn't do anything. In the end I updated my BIOS and it boots right up every time. Must be a UEFI bug that was patched.

Use the memstick image for a memstick. Use Etcher. Steve

@stephenw10 it only went to bios I have it back up and running now thanks

Hmm, if you add a new drive the BIOS may add a UEFI entry for it and try to boot that if if sees it as bootable. If that does happen, on the 6100, you would need to set the boot device back to the old drive on the first boot at least. Just for anyone searching in the future.

You can only use the tokens once. If you moved the config to a new VM it will have a new NDI which won't be registered. Open a ticket with us. https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request

@stephenw10 Just wanted to follow up and mark this one as SOLVED — removing the <phase1>1</phase1> from <ipsec> fixed the PHP errors and allowed the interfaces to load. I’ve got it back in production and have a bit more work to restore to the original config, but your advice definitely made the difference! Thanks so much for the help.

ahhh my bad i meant plus-didnt mean to be lazy but with all the previous hoopla over the modest charge for a great piece of software I wanted to make sure that I wouldnt incur the wife approval factor paperwork again LOL

sorry to necro this but its the top google search for the topic - do you have any insight into performance difference between KVM vs LXC QEMU? it would be nice to get a definitive answer on which is better

Yes I've hit that myself a few times and it can be confusing! There is work on-going to improve how that is handled.

@kj32 My experience with TAC is that you get a response within minutes any time of the day or night. Ted

@techmattr said in Recover config from mirrored zfs disk?: I rebooted my pfsense today and when it booted back up it threw an error that it could not find /boot/kernal/kernal or something to that effect. I eneded up having to reinstall My install was on 2 mirrored zfs disks. When I did the reinstall I only installed onto 1 disk. Is there any way for me to recover my config from the 2nd disk? Open a terminal or console and identify the ZFS pool name. You can use the following command to list the available ZFS pools: zpool list Once the pool is imported, you need to mount the ZFS filesystem containing the pfSense configuration. The exact path may vary, but it's typically something like /mnt/<pool_name>. zfs mount <pool_name>/mountpoint

@stephenw10 I have it set up for LAN. And I've seen the error message that I used to get, but the system keeps running after that now. I didn't use WAN because after reading what it says I thought that might be a bad idea.

@SteveITS Thanks for the tips. In the end, just restoring the pre-upgrade backup was the solution, the other things may have worked, but I needed to get fired back up and running so people could get back to work. J.

@stephenw10 apologies didn't see update on this. No I am unsure if bios was modified. So I bought this as part of a set from reseller on Ebay. its a checkpoint t80? when i got it it already had pfsense install restored so it was just configuring and completing the install. Current update is getting a new SSD to swap and see if that will correct my issue. New ssd should be here this week. Next steps is new bare metal server running pfsesne or promox with pfsesne. Apologies again for the delay and thanks for the assist.

@stephenw10 Thank you for this information. After setting my bios to legacy mode and reinstalling I did not get this error even after reloading all my previous config.
