      Nothing that jumps out. From the system log there is only one pattern I see

        Hmm, that's very odd. What hypervisor are you using?

            @stephenw10 If some part of the config (config.xml) was causing this issue. How would one even begin to troubleshoot that?

            Restore portions of it to a new install until crash is triggered or is there a better way?

              Nothing should ever result in the config file being inaccessible. It looks like some filesystem or drive issue though because in addition to not being able to open the config file the PHP error is being unable to open the notices file to post an alert for it. 🤔

                Just to be proactive, the SSD its on is at 30% wearout, I moved it to another ssd in the VM and still same issue. I checked the logs on the VM host (proxmox) and the sys logs of pfsense and no obvious errors in either.

                  And here is the error that occasionally occurs that causes the config to be reloaded

                      As far as I know. This config I think used to be 23. Something and then I rebuilt it once I stopped using commercial for my home.

                            You just have to select it in the repo branch in System > Update.

                                So, we are now a few days into the 2.8-Beta version and no more crashes have happened. Hopefully this is somewhat helpful for you but unsure if it is.

                                  Well if anything changed there it's probably something low level that the OS updates could have addressed.
