      Has anyone noticed stability issues over the past few weeks on 2.1 beta1 snapshots?

      Reason I ask … 2.1 Beta has been rock solid up until the past few weeks for me. I've experienced ( 4 ) OS lockups and have been updating to latest snapshots about every 4 days or so.

        I haven't seen nor heard of any lockups on current snapshots that I recall. I had someone say they had a very old snapshot that locked up and they updated and haven't had a problem since then.

        When it locks up, is the whole system unresponsive (console locked) or does it just fall off the network and the console itself is OK?

            Can't access backend GUI or console on laptop (Non Responsive), after a reboot it seems fine. Update last night disabled my wireless…and played with it some and no luck.

            Here is the system log on the wireless.

            I will search the logs and see if I can find where it locked up and post also…

              What is the best way to view all system logs …. Backend GUI will allow me to view 2000 lines.

                If you want the entire system log file I will email it to you jimp  ….. to much to post here. I will say there are some odd logs in one section.

                Just let me know...

                  I have been delaying a full reinstall for the past 4 days. I routinely shut down pfsense at the end of each day … for some reason today the wireless decides to load the driver and function  :-\
