      If the filesystem cannot be cleaned or keeps becoming corrupt then, yes that could be a bad drive. But I have seen the same thing on older hardware with simply a lose connector.

        So I purchased a new nvme drive to test that out. I'm getting immediate errors again even with a fresh install of 2.7 and then a restore with no installed packages

        I've added new dump files to the nextcloud share

        Also noticed this in the logs and finally captured it.
        As I stated I removed the packages from the XML but this is showing up as though the system is trying to pull down info as part of pfblocker

          That pfBlocker can sometimes happen at boot before the lists have been fetched. It's not normally an issue.

          Those crash reports all show filesystem issues still. It could be an issue with the board firmware. Is it running the latest BIOS?

          Do you see those errors before you restore the old config?

            No errors on the old machine at all.

            I've purchased another machine to try/test and just did a fresh install and system restore.

            Just got this error on the new-new hardware. Looks like it's similar to the other machine

              That's this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/14648

              Which is nothing to do with the drive. It's usually a one time error if you see it.

                  functions.inc.php:212

                  That's the same bug. Did you try the patch on the bug report?

                    Found it, that said how does one apply a patch?

                    Couldn’t seem to figure it out.

                      You can use the System Patches package, just use the commit ID in the patch.
