Random crash report in notices.inc and wg.inc

[stephenw10]

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

Hmm, you've only seen this in 2.7.2?

[whinis]

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.

[stephenw10]

Are you able to test 2.8-Beta?

[whinis]

I can if I have a guide of how to update to it

[stephenw10]

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

[whinis]

Cool, ill try this tonight after the work day ends. Joy of working from home.

[whinis]

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.

[stephenw10]

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