fsck doesn't run on ZFS. You shouldn't need to but you can scrub the zpool. See: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/filesystem-check.html For example: [24.03-RC][root@1100-3.stevew.lan]/root: zpool status pool: pfSense state: ONLINE status: Some supported and requested features are not enabled on the pool. The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable. action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not support the features.

Hmm, I though those were documented but I'm not seeing it now. On both the combo ports and the 2.5G LAN ports the right LED lights green to indicate link and flashes to indicate data. The left LED indicates the link speed. On the combo ports it is orange at 1G and green at 100M. On the LAN ports it is green at 2.5G, Orange at 1G and off at 100M and 10M. Steve

@Sergei_Shablovsky said in Will the transition to the Linux kernel bring the 3100 back to life?: Of course this all not matter in case deeply inside Netgate take a decision to move on PROPERTY ROAD, where KPI&money income matter and open source community & user base USED ONLY AS NO-COST BETA-TESTERS. Oh come on, based on recent years the evidence is that paying customers are being used as paying beta testers for the later released open source version ;)

Yup check old ZFS BE snaps.

I have the same question for the 4200 systems & the same rationale for wanting to know. So far the only info I could find is Intel's CPU specs at ark.intel.com where in the case of the 4200 they show the C1110 CPU's Tjunction as 100C. Intel's docs suggest that the CPU will throttle as temps rise, but that doesn't translate into a temp that we should alert on. --Larry

Ah, nice! Interesting, presenting like that is not the sort of thing I expect to be resolved by a reinstall. It's possible the required loader values were lost somehow and would have been restored though. Good result.

24.03 will alert you upgrade failures if it exhausts the drive space and automatically falls back to the last BE. So it's both easier to tell why it failed and much difficult to fail entirely!

@stephenw10 Thanks. I use WireGuard extensively so I will turn those on.

@capras12 yup, read through the instructions but there’s not much besides creating the usb stick.

@the-other hey all, wrote to netgate's service (and got an answer in like no time at all, great! > thanx @matthew at service)... Everything is as it should be, with TAC lite it just shows...well...Community support. Question answered, "problem" solved. :)

@cshinn try using a different usb stick. Yes I know it doesn’t make sense. See this thread I unintentionally hijacked: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/180432/certificate-verification-failed/13

To be clear you mean the screws that hold the top on?

Yes, you can set the system tunable: hw.acpi.power_button_state=NONE That will disable the ACPI shutdown. It will still reset if you hold it down long enough.

@tgl said in Announcing the Netgate 4200 with pfSense Plus Software: so you'd need a 2U shelf, or at least 2U worth of space I am NOT the poster but I did see this post that claims "perfectly aligned mounting holes" and thought of this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/1bvq79u/rack_mounting_the_netgate_4200/ YMMV. :)

For the record, changing branches and then doing updates got me closer, but still not all the way there. @stephenw10 said in SG-4860 updates are broken after factory reset: Just open a ticket. You don't need active support to get the support image: https://www.netgate.com/tac-support-request Thanks for pointing this out. To contribute to this for others to reference, in the FAQ's (https://www.netgate.com/support/frequently-asked-questions) there's a "What is TAC Lite?" section, which includes "Customers who purchase a Netgate appliance do not have to purchase a subscription and have TAC Lite free of charge for the life of the appliance." I submitted a request, selecting "TAC Lite" for the Support Level, and they did indeed respond with temporary links to download an install image.

Yup, that looks like it pulled instructions from several places, probably some other device using the name '4200'. pfSense does not, and has never, included network file sharing like that. In a pinch you could ssh to the firewall and mount the drive. Then have scp access to that mount from something else to access files on it. But there are security implications in doing so.

@dkledgerwood :(

@EngineerSB Well that may be true, but the firewall I am using now does not seem to have the problem.

The answer to the question pure sine wave or modified is more technical and outside the scope of these forums. The advise to use APC is a good one, they are a good solid brand, many rebadge APC but the design is sound have used them for decades. To get more technical, if the load is transformer inductive then sine wave is very important becuase of how the energy tranfers from one winding to the other to step up or down the voltage. For example your fridge , AC or simular. However switch mode powersupplies firstly rectify the incoming voltage into DC, in the UK we're nomally 220-252vAC that becomes 310-355vDC (being the RMS of the peak usable voltage figures are all 'ish' becuase the vary) That is then fed into a transisitor and turned on/off at high frequency, the switch mode part and the resultant output then smoothed and fed to the device. This is the basics of how a SMPSU works. The bottom line is, whilst pure sine wave is desirable, most well designed SMPSU's inside quality electronics will quite easly cope with a modified sine wave. In fact if you look at the incoming AC on an scope, its pretty awful, full of noise and spikes and varies over time. So even a modified sine wave is an improvement. Last comment on AC. We're seeing more and more failures of PSU's , we've identified that becuase the UK mains voltage has begun to creap up and holds nearer to the top limit of 253 rather then the lower limit of 215 its placing more strain on the PSU's and often the smoothing caps are out of spec. for the hgher voltage. Here is our incoming voltage over the last 12 hours. [image: 1711883568796-chart.png]
