      You only need ichsmb0 disabled.

      Disabling EHCI also stops the error flood but it also disables the eMMC because that is USB connected in RCC-VE, including the 4860.

        Thank you both @johnpoz and @stephenw10!

        I'll apply this to my SG-4860, reboot, verify all is still well, and then upgrade to 23.01.

        For anyone using Ansible with pfSense, here's what you can add to your yaml to accomplish this:

        - name: workaround for cpu increase on sg-4860 with pfSense 23.01 and above
  lineinfile:
    path: /boot/loader.conf.local
    state: present
    create: true
    line: "hint.ichsmb.0.disabled=1"
    owner: root
    group: wheel
    mode: "0644"
  remote_user: root

        Are the docs available for me to submit a PR/MR for so I can clean up the wording for others that have an SG-4860 (https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/23-01.html)? Currently, the wording is vague to where it's not clear which one you should apply, if not both. But now that we know it's only ichsmb0, we can update the docs so users hopefully won't have to search through the forums and find posts like these to know for sure :).

          @offstageroller there’s a feedback button on each doc page. Thanks for the clarification. :)

          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.
          Upvote 👍 helpful posts!

            @chudak Nothing magical, just thought it was interesting that the last boot (power outage) worked out to be 180 days before I would have time to do the upgrade.

            Damm i'm the Bejnamin here

            Might consider to upgrade my home prod. sometime next weekend.

            Or might just switch the already upgraded Hystou/Protectli in for a while ...
            Just have to rename my IGBxx to EMxx in the "Prod" config file.

              Inspired by positive posts, I got brave and upgraded my system remotely (on VPN session)

              Everything generally went smoothly
              My packages came back all up to date (after the upgrade):
              I did not remove any of them

              2eb80bf7-a5a3-4f43-ae94-6b58e302daca-image.png

              OpenVPN and TailScale seem to work.

              I did get a crash error and again this:

              An error occurred while uploading the encrypted Netgate pfSense Plus configuration to https://acb.netgate.com/save (Could not resolve host: acb.netgate.com) @ 2023-02-22 09:46:19

                    You are a lucky guy! Many reported much more ram usage, as me before but no on 23.01 release and three packets updated yesterday all is fine again.

                    I think I will never get an uptime like you with pfSense
                    or if I get another box I use one for private usage and
                    one for playing around with it.

                      There's a patch for that. :)

                      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.

                        This one :

                        @chudak said in To 23.01 or not ? that is the question :):

                        I did get a crash error and again this:
                        An error occurred while uploading the encrypted Netgate pfSense Plus configuration to https://acb.netgate.com/save (Could not resolve host: acb.netgate.com) @ 2023-02-22 09:46:19

                        is special.

                        You - or the pfSense itself added/changed something to the config.
                        Like a monitoring stats file update.
                        And it decided to save a copy at "acb.netgate.com".
                        But, for reasons you can figure out, the resolver was just restarting at that moment.
                        The backup script won't "wait a bit" and times out right away with a "can't resolve acb.netgate.com". It it would have cached the IP of "acb.netgate.com" (as it is a Netgate server with a very fixed IP 208.123.73.212 that probably 'never' changes) the transfer would have sucseeded).

                        The 'crash' :

                        @chudak said in To 23.01 or not ? that is the question :):

                        Module compiled with module API=20210902
                        PHP compiled with module API=2019090

                        is another famous one.
                        PHP was running smoothly, doing upgrade/update stuff as always.
                        And then the system (PHP) decided to upgrade PHP itself.
                        7.4.x ( API base 20190902 ) to PHP 8.x ( API base 20210902 ).
                        And for some reason, PHP restarted while doing so.
                        It got confused : The - not yet - main php.ini file says : use API "20190902" but it found "20210902".
                        Something like that.

                        The next time the PHP process restart, everything will be fine.
                        It looks scary, but isn't a big deal.
                        I guess some day, Netgate will decide to clean up this part by shelling out to a not-PHP script to upgrade PHP. Or something like that.

                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                        Edit : and where are the logs ??

                            Upgrade 22.05 to 23.01, on 7100 1u (slave).... impossible to connect on after.
                            I try to go back to the default config... same way.
                            I try to install by pfSense-plus-memstick-serial-23.01-RELEASE-amd64.img furnished by netgate... same way.
                            I go back to 22.05 with installation file furnished by netgate... many troubles, at the end not possible to reinstall the packages.....
                            😥

                              You’ll need to set the update branch to Previous Stable (22.05) to successfully install packages for 22.05.

                                  You only need ichsmb0 disabled.

                                  Disabling EHCI also stops the error flood but it also disables the eMMC because that is USB connected in RCC-VE, including the 4860.

                                  It seems like there may be a bit more to it according to this post and the larger thread it's in, which was a follow-up to what I thought was a fully answered question I posed, but apparently was not the complete story.

                                  It's possible that while ichsmb0 takes care of the bulk of the issue, ehci0 may still be a lesser contribution to some errant interrupt. Of course disabling ehci0 might be a bigger pill to swallow for multiple reasons. It seems this could have been much better documented in the hardware errata and there really should have been a public Redmine bug with all the gory details. The "Netgate internal Redmine" bug reference didn't do us any favors.

                                    Upgrade took approx 15 minutes before I was logging into the gui again

                                    Thank you for noting this! Without your comment on how long things took, I would've thought something was very wrong. I just upgraded my SG-5100 from 22.05 and it was sitting on "Rebooting... do not turn off" and retrying for quite some time. I was just about to plug in a debug console on the 5100 when the GUI came back (edit: after looking at the SMTP messages the 5100 sent to my Notifications e-mail address, the reboot took 10 minutes).

                                    All services are up and running; the only other surprise is that there were no package updates. I'm running:

                                    • list itembandwidth 0.7.5
                                    • Cron 0.3.8_3
                                    • openvpn-client-export 1.8
                                    • pfBlockerNG-devel [edit: 3.2.0_3 3.1.0_11]
                                    • Service_Watchdog 1.8.7_1
                                    • System_Patches 2.1

                                    I'm really looking forward to faster Unbound restarts in python mode (thanks Christian!)...

                                      @draco Updating can take quite a while depending on CPU and moreso disk speed. Hence my sig. :) I actually made a redmine feature request to remove the timer this time around.

                                      re: package updates, an upgrade will install the newer packages. So there should never be package updates after a pfSense upgrade. I think it technically does an uninstall/reinstall? pfB 3.2 and patches 2.1 are both new in 23.01 I am pretty sure. Usually I follow Netgate's upgrade guide and uninstall at least pfBlocker and Suricata before upgrading.

                                        I've been successful with just disabling pfBlocker vs. uninstalling it. I didn't read my own checklist and didn't disable pfBlocker this time [edit: because I was already on 3.0.2_3 though I was on 3.1.0_11] ... just glad it didn't hiccup.

                                        On your Redmine submission, it would sure be nice if pfSense had an option to capture some of the Debug stream during the update/reboot process as a way to show things are not hung. I nearly plugged in a debug console because the lights on my 5100 looked like all was good, but it wasn't "running" (e.g. gateway ping from inside the network failed).

                                        If you don't mind, I'll update your request with this...

                                            @steveits Of course 🤦 ... hence the need for a debug port, which I guess I will have to rely on in the future.

                                            Your explanation for why it took so long makes sense. I seem to recall past upgrades waiting until the GUI was up to update packages (and putting up a banner to that effect). While I think this is better (not booting until all the packages are updated), it does make for a bit of anxiety for those doing the upgrade.
