SID configuration files go away on reboot
-
On every reboot of PFsense, in Suricata, all the sample and custom SID configuration files go away. I have to reinstall Suricata to get back the sample files and upload my custom ones again. All the other settings seem intact. Is this an option somewhere, or a bug?
Pfsense 2.4.1
Suricata 4.0.0.2 -
The only way I can imagine this happening is if you have some disk partitions on a RAMDISK. A RAMDISK is naturally wiped clean on a reboot. The SID management files are currently stored in the /var/lib/suricata/sidmods directory. That directory and its files should never disappear unless you are running a RAMDISK with the /var partition on the RAMDISK.
If you have RAMDISKS enabled, turn them off. Or at least do not include the /var partition on a RAMDISK.

Yep, that was it. Now that my system disks are SSD, I really don't need the RAMDISK feature anymore. I am turning it off.
Thanks again.
