Crash in filter.inc
-
pfSense was running and the dashboard wasn't reporting any errors, but no client behind my firewall could get to the internet. I rebooted pfSense, and the Crash Reporter came up after the reboot and provided this information:

That is an odd place for it to throw an error. It suggests it had a problem writing that file out.
Gut feeling says it may be hardware (e.g. disk/ssd) but it could just be the filesystem if it's UFS. Running a filesystem check a few times might help.
If the disk is using ZFS then it's more likely to be hardware.
