      @Techniker_ctr said in pfSense 2.7.2 freezing with no crash report after reboot:

      The console is also no longer accessible in some cases.

      Hmm, so sometimes the console was still responsive? I assume you were not able to connect out at that point?

        It seems so. In all the freezes I've seen, the console was no longer functional, but my colleague said he could access a device via console.

        At the next freeze I will actively check if more info is available via console

          Make sure you try using ctl+t at the console. That can often show a stuck process when nothing else is responding.

            Hey,

            We had another outage today, unfortunately no further information could be retrieved via the console.

            The system that failed is an updated system that runs on ufs and does not use a ha proxy.

            Failure pattern is the same again. Normal load and suddenly no response from the system and total traffic failure. As alsways no crash report.

            The following are the system loads
            RAM

            Proccesses:

            Any other Idea how we can track down the cause?

              Do you see anything in Hyper-V? Usage spikes etc?

                I appreciate your help

                I have checked our Grafana for the HyperV again and can indeed detect a CPU spike on the system, just before the freeze.

                And a complete loss of traffic

                  Hmm, so like some process uses all the CPU cycles until it's rebooted. Yet nothing is logged.... 🤔

                    Today we had another freeze. Same symptomps, no logs, no console. All we see is a CPU Spike right before the freeze.

                    Any other Ideas how to continue? Are we the only ones with this issue?

                    We are currently running 71 pfSense 2.7.2 and around 10 of them are showing the issue. We tried reinstalls on fresh 2.7.2 images to make sure there is no issue with the updating from 2.6.

                    All our 2.6 and 2.5.2 System run without these issues.

                      we just had another freeze. This time i have a couple of new errors in the logs before the logs completely stop.

                      Maybe this helps narrowing it down.

                        Hmm, unfortunately nothing there really looks like an issue. Certainly not something that would cause it to stop responding entirely.

                        We could try running dtrace against it to see what's using the cycles but I think we'd need some way to trigger it before it stopped responding.

                        If you create a test instance in the same hypervisor does that also stop responding?
