PfSense 2.0.1 crashes
-
My pfSense 2.0.1 installation on a TEAK 3035-155 crashes almost once a day. This happened always in the night between 00:00 and 03:00 (Central Europe daylight saving time).
When I open the pfSense website I see that a crash report is ready to be sent to the developers. Clicking the send button shows this message:
Diagnostics: Crash reporter
Processing…
Uploading...
Not FoundThe requested URL /crash_reporter.php was not found on this server.
Continue and delete crash report files from local disk.
Afterwards the crash report is deleted from the disk.
This time I found the crash report files in /var/crash and could save them before trying to send the report (see attachments). Do you have any idea why the machine is crashing and how I can solve this problem?
Thanks!

It's not directly implicated here but you should try this as you have multiple em interfaces:

Thanks for the tip, Steve.
The suggested NMB cluster size was already set but the number of queues cannot be set on my system:
[2.0.1-RELEASE]: sysctl hw.em.num_queues sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.em.num_queues' [2.0.1-RELEASE]: sysctl kern.ipc.nmbclusters kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 131072
The system keeps crashing apx. once a day.

Had you set it already? Does your system use a lot of MBUFs, in the dashboard the MBUF usage is displayed does it ever get close to 131072?
Is this a new box?

MBUF usage is far from the limit:
netstat -m 3269/706/3975 mbufs in use (current/cache/total) 3262/588/3850/131072 mbuf clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 3261/323 mbuf+clusters out of packet secondary zone in use (current/cache) 0/44/44/65536 4k (page size) jumbo clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 0/0/0/32768 9k jumbo clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 0/0/0/16384 16k jumbo clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) 7341K/1528K/8869K bytes allocated to network (current/cache/total) 0/0/0 requests for mbufs denied (mbufs/clusters/mbuf+clusters) 0/0/0 requests for jumbo clusters denied (4k/9k/16k) 0/8/4368 sfbufs in use (current/peak/max) 0 requests for sfbufs denied 0 requests for sfbufs delayed 0 requests for I/O initiated by sendfile 0 calls to protocol drain routines
Current uptime is 2 days, 10:35. It crashed three times since the change. So MBUF size is probably not the reason.
All crashes occurred during low traffic times (in the night time). This means apx. 1 kbit/s, no user in the office.

Did you find the solution?
