      So I had to increase my Firewall Maximum Table Entries size on my 6100 due to all of the pfBlockerNG lists I have configured, but I noticed that the default value changes to whatever I change it to.

      In other words, I increased it from the default size of 400,000 to 1,000,000 and now the "On this system the default size is: 400,000" text changes to whatever the new value is set to after saving the configuration.

      A bug perhaps?

        I guess that could be possible. I stumbled myself also over this kind of issue after reducing the number of entries and switching back to the default values for the machine. Even with the recommended value I got that error. Only solution was recover with a previous config ...

          @fireodo, I don't get an error. I'm just saying that the default value text changes to whatever I change the value to. This originally said 400000, but after I changed the actual value the "On this system the default size is..." changes as well.

                In this case you should open a redmine ticket with a complete documentation of that issue (if possible).

                  Here is what I mean. The description text should not change to match the value itself. Note that the text changes after the value is changed and the page is refreshed.

                    Correct - the default value should be calculated in relation of installed RAM on the system and not depending of user entry.

                      @cloudified Yes that's a bug, it's been there a while.

                      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
