mbuf cluster rising after upgrade from 2.5.2
-
Also it looks like before the system went offline I was able to forward the errors to my syslog server:
-
Hmm, well that seems pretty conclusive. I wonder if it stopped allowing further mbufs for some other reason than it was actually exhausted....
Were you able to access the console at that point? Querying
netstat -mwhilst in that state would be telling. -
@stephenw10 I think I did run it but I didnt take a picture of it.
-
@captain118 Its been a while since I did it the first time. I dont remember if the console was responsive or not. I may not have run it until after a reboot. Either way, I dont have a picture of it.
-
Are you able to test a clean 2.7.2 install with your config restored into it?
Nothing you're running seems particularly exotic so it could be something that didn't upgrade as expected. Though I'd expect more failures than that in that situation.
I assume you don't have anything custom installed?
-
@stephenw10 Nothing custom installed. I did wonder if there was a possiblity that the bridge that didnt survive the update could have been part of what caused the issues I'm seeing. I can do a fresh install of 2.7.2 in a couple of weeks. I wanted to make sure there wasnt anything I should do before resorting to a full rebuild.
I see you work at netgate. Is there anything that would be useful for you to have before I do the rebuild? I wish I had taken some time between the 2.6 and 2.7 upgrades so I could pinpoint where I saw the problem arise, but alas that was not the case.
-
Hmm, I missed the bridge. What did you have bridged? What do you in place of that now?
Grabbing a status_output file is always useful whenever any debugging is required:

@stephenw10 I had bridged my main inside interface with another interface to function as a span interface for capturing traffic to be analyzed by security onion. I havent set it back up yet.
-
Hmm, but none of that remained in the config? No bridge device shown in
ifconfig? -
@stephenw10 It doesnt show in either the UI or the ifconfig output.
-
Hmm, well I would be trying a clean 2.7.2 install at this point. I'm not aware of any known mbuf leak so we need to determine if it's the config or something broken in the install.
