Upgrade 2.7.0 -> 2.7.2 NVMe Failure
-
@judman13 yeah and unfortunately I had to rebuild from scratch. Luckily I found two screen shots which had some of the old policies. Other than that, I had to rebuild VPN, DHCP, and VLANs. I use this for home use so not a ton of stuff but enough to make it frustrating.
Looking at finding a way to automate backups of the configs. This way if it happens again, I can rebuild from scratch and import backup.
If you know of any good open source backup solutions… I just got a Pi5 so I may take my old 4 and use it as a back up and point it to file server.

We just save a backup every time we make a change.
Netgate provides this for free:

@SteveITS Thank you!! I was not aware of this! Then again I’ve only been using pfsense for a little over a year. Learn something new every day! I was just looking at rdiff-backup.

Could your NVMe overheating?? Is this an official Netgate Appliance? They have great heat sink kits on Amazon I got myself one. Lowered my temp on my M2 SSD
NVMe's run really hot
-
@JonathanLee My bad for missing this, I don't have an official Netgate box. I build and overkill box with 11th Gen Core i5-11400, 16GB Ram, and dual SFP+ transceiver (had laying around from old dell server I had) for added overkill.. In anycase, the MSI board I bought for it came with an NVMe heatsink which definitely helps with keeping it cool. I wanted to be able to enable DPI and not kill the CPU or overheat the disk... Without DPI the avg temp is 27-28C.
-
@Technolust that is a better temp range than what I have.
Prior the the heat sink I was running a lot hotter, I also have a pcie mini compex card installed with a heat sink, It would reboot until I added a heat sink to the pcie mini card for me. But I have no fans it is all passive cooling.
-
@JonathanLee Not bad temp ranges for passive cooling. Do you do DPI?
-
@Technolust what is dpi? Dots per inch??
Make sure to upvote

Deep packet inspection (I assume that's what he means). These days it generally requires a MITM (man-in-the-middle) setup to break the encryption so the packet payloads can be inspected.
-
@Technolust Yes I have custom certificates installed to inspect traffic for issues. Thanks @bmeeks for explaining that term to me.
-
@JonathanLee Deep Packet Inspection.
-
@JonathanLee ok cool, so I shouldn’t expect a huge increase in temp.
