      @jimp well the entire thing was too long to post, honestly, I am not sure I picked out important part. Its all brand new hardware.. I tested the RAM before hand, I would hope its not heat, since its all new and its got the biggest CPU cooler I could find that would fit the case, and the CPU doesn't get put under much load.

          Mmm, something very wrong there. It's hitting the 512MB limit in PHP which can happen if the config file becomes corrupt or you attempt to run a command with a huge output. However here it's trying to allocate 2048TiB! That cannot be right even if your config file ludicrously large.

          How big is your config file? What were you attempting to do there?

            It looks like my config file is about 200k. My setup is nothing too fancy. I have a couple VLANs, snort, and a handful of other things going on. It actually worked just fine on my old hardware. The biggest difference between my old hardware and new was I went from an 8th gen intel CPU to a 12th gen, and changed from the onboard intel NIC to a Chelsio T520-BT T5 NIC. I have some 10g network functionality so I wanted to include my pfsense into that.

              Mmm, 200k is fine.

              Any idea what exactly you were attempting when it threw that error?

                I'd still lean toward a hardware issue for that -- could easily be filesystem corruption or a bad read from the disk that led to that.

                I'd be very suspicious of the hardware, even if it's new, that's when things are most likely to be bad (DOA) or fail.

                  Nothing in particular, I've been asleep a lot of the times I've gotten the errors. It will cause it to randomly reboot as well.

                    Hmm, I would certainly try disabling some of those packages and seeing if that prevents it. I'd start with ntopng.

                      I'll give that a shot and see if it helps. Any suggestions to keep my setup in case I have a corrupted file system.

                        If it fails to mount root because of filesystem damage you can run a manual check:
