Crash

Hi!

Just one more question…
If this happens again, is there a way that pfsense would automatically reboot itself?

Regards,
M

Normally it will automatically reboot itself after such a crash.

Are you on NanoBSD? Or a full install?

I`m on full install, when this happened, firewall did not rebooted itself unfortunatley…

Did you install from iso/memstick or OVA?
Did you do a custom install?

The only way it might have not rebooted is if you didn't make any swap space for the crash dumps, though it should be doing that either way.

Huh I installed from ISO, it was full default install on 80GB disk…

Custom install or a quick/easy install?

What does this show?

swapinfo

sysctl debug.ddb

Ummm it just happened again jimp!
1 week almost preciese timing and my box is locked again.
oh crap :S

I have to come home from work, then I`ll be able to see output of those commands…

Offtopic:
I have pppoe connection and another Hyper-V pfsense VM....
Can I do a redundant situation in case of HW is locked up like now?

Thanks!

Maybe it has nothing to do with your problem, but haven't you set RAM disks? (System->Advanced->Miscellanous : RAM Disk Settings (Reboot to Apply Changes) ) ?

I have just submitted new crash log for inspection…

Hi guys!

It was borked MB. I tried to upgrade to latest version and it borked kernel as well… I had non bootable HDD, I replaced everything
managed to rescue config.xml and now I`m up and running again :)

I have just one question though...
I rescued config.xml, can I somehow rescue RRD graph data too?
I have old HDD which is working OK but new system is now on other HDD...

Thanks!

Thanks gogol!

Do I just copy/paste to new HDD and thats it?

Regards,

You will overwrite what was created of course

It turned out that motherboard was to blame…
From 4 on-board ports 2 were giving me send/receive errors...
I bought new system with intel d2500cce which should last longer that this one (2 yrs)...

Thanks all!
