@jimp:
Boot to single user mode and run "fsck -y /" a few times until it does not find anything, don't stop when it claims to be clean. It may take 3-5 times.
Thanks!
This got me all fixed in a hurry in the field today.
Day started out with me having a really bad attitude toward PFSense Store purchased SG-2440 equipment.
I usually build my own PFsense boxes out of PC hardware for clients and they last for years without any issues
other than keeping them up to date.
This would have been the 4th SG-2440 that suddenly ate itself for lunch and failed.
This box has not been modified or changed lately and is on clean battery backed power.
So I wonder what might have caused this to happen suddenly.
Thanks again & take care!
