reboot done, we'll see ;-)

i had my first crash on a vmotion on the secondary pfsense :

i vmotion the primary and no crash...

We need to see the backtrace to know more there.

@stephenw10 i upload files in your nextcloud link.

So not the same issue.

Seems similar to a few other bugs but not identical.
The message buffer shows it failing back and forth between the nodes a few times was that expected?

@stephenw10 said in Random crash on latest 23.09.1:

That last backtrace decodes to /var/jenkins/workspace/pfSense-Plus-snapshots-23_09_1-main/sources/FreeBSD-src-plus-RELENG_23_09_1/sys/netpfil/pf/pf.c:5743, which is in pf_test_state_tcp(), where it applies NAT. It likely means that the state has a NULL key (pf_kstate->key[]).
It's not clear to me how that'd happen. Speculatively, perhaps there's a race on state insertion, or there's something wrong in the pfsync state transfer. A full core dump might be helpful here, if this can be reproduced.

Yathus

@kprovost how can i have a full core dump ?

stephenw10

You can just set the ddb file to dump rather than textdump but you need enough SWAP space to dump to and 1GB probably isn't enough.

So you can reinstall with more swap space or add SWAP somehow. For example: https://forum.netgate.com/post/1127502

Yathus

@stephenw10 i add a second disk to VM and i have now a 12Go SWAP.

My config was :

#script kdb.enter.default=textdump set; capture on; run pfs ; capture off; textdump dump; reset

Replaced by :

script kdb.enter.default=bt ; show registers ; dump ; reset

I reboot too.

stephenw10

Great. You can check that it's working as expected by forcing a panic and seeing if the kernel core dump is created.

Running: sysctl debug.kdb.panic=1 will panic the system immediately and should create the core dump.

@stephenw10 i test your command on my "backup" pfsense and it's worked, got a 1Go file vmcore.0
So we just have to wait now...
