      I am running on mSata, full Install with Serial console  (I believe it is embedded kernel)

      Yes snmp was active in 2.1.5

        I did a clean install, all was good.  Restored the old configuration file.  Same issue again.

        I am now going to try to disable snmpd during boot.

          Hmm, interesting. Looking back there's nothing recent but previous SNMP issues seem to be related to attempting to read a large amount of data at one time.

          Edit: Can't type.

            So the workaround is:

            • Boot into single user mode
            • Do a fsck on your boot disk
            • mount it as R/W
            • Rename the bsnmpd file
            • reboot

            => All Fine but no snmp working anymore

            Which is critical because I want to use it for monitoring the device.

              Not seeing that. Do you know if just enabling SNMP is adequate, or do you have to poll it before it breaks? Either way it's not something I can replicate by just enabling it, nor by snmpwalking it repeatedly. What is your monitoring polling on it? Maybe if I hit some specific OID repeatedly in the way you're doing it'll be replicable.

                At the moment the situation is if I enable bsnmpd the system does the general protection fault immediate.

                I have nothing polling snmp at the moment, 1 of my next projects is investigating ZenOSS Core monitoring which requires SNMP because of this I called it a blocker.

                If you test on a clean install you not have the issue.  I only had the issue when I was doing upgrade from 2.1.5 with snmp active and Installing 2.2 clean and importing the backup file from 2.1.5 with snmp enabled.

                Disabling it solves the issue, but it happens so fast you first need to do the rename trick in singer user mode.

                It is not the only issue I have had:

                • Unbound had a corrupt root.key file.  I was using unbound on 2.1.5
                • ssh host keys where corrupt, had to recreate them.

                  Same problem on my side :
                  I upgraded an ALIX 2D3 to 2.2-RELEASE (i386) without any issue, but when I tried to upgrade my APU to 2.2-RELEASE (amd64), a kernel crash occured at boot apparently in bsnmpd :

                    bsnmp is something that should be replaced with net-snmp. Already done in PCBSD, FreeNAS… for good reasons.

                    @kdillen:

                    1 of my next projects is investigating ZenOSS Core

                    That's the monster Java-based bloatware that eats 8+GB of RAM to get barely running? Good luck. I'd rather waste my time with something else.

                      Hello!
                      i have the same issue.
                      I'm not so familiar with the command line. Would it be possible to explain the workaround a little bit more? Maybe it would be possible to post the commands?

                        I know but the customer wants to have it, so if I say no the I not earn my money.

                          I will try, but some parts are different depending on the hardware used

                          • Single user mode boot:  Select single user in the selection menu.
                          • accept the shell command presented
                          • run command:  mount
                          • look for a line like this:  /dev/ada0s1a on / (ufs, local)
                          • Remember the /dev/xxxxx part
                          • run command:  fsck -y /dev/xxxxx
                          • run again the same command
                          • run command:  mount -o rw /
                          • run command:  mv /usr/sbin/bsnmpd  /usr/sbin/bsnmpd.old
                          • run command: reboot

                          Now the system will start normally.  Do not forget to disable snmp after the boot.

                            Thanks for the answer. but i have one problem. If I boot the device over serial console (Win / putty) i cannot see the selection menu for the single user menu. Have anyone a idea? Do you see this screen?

                              What serial speed are you using - the BIS might be coming out at one speed (e.g. 38400) and then the FreeBSD/pfSense at another (e.g. 115200). My APU console spits out the menu at 115200.

                              If it is some other issue, then the menu is started with:

                              /etc/rc.initial
                              

                              But I am guessing your issue is just console speed?

                              As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                                  Finally I restored my pfsense. Here are the steps I tried:
                                  After I had no change to boot into the single user mode I used an USB Stick with an pfsense Live environment. There I was able to boot in the single user mode. Then I mount the original drive and rename the /usr/sbin/bsnmpd. After that I was able to boot but the Webinterface always showed a 500 internal Server error and no traffic was passed the pfsense. In the end I decide to reinstall 2.1.5 and restore my configuration. So I will wait for a fixed 2.2…

                                    i have the same issue.
                                    I'm not so familiar with the command line. Would it be possible to explain the workaround a little bit more? Maybe it would be possible to post the commands?
                                    Tanks a lot!

                                    I will try, but some parts are different depending on the hardware used

                                    • Single user mode boot:  Select single user in the selection menu.
                                    • accept the shell command presented
                                    • run command:  mount
                                    • look for a line like this:  /dev/ada0s1a on / (ufs, local)
                                    • Remember the /dev/xxxxx part
                                    • run command:  fsck -y /dev/xxxxx
                                    • run again the same command
                                    • run command:  mount -o rw /
                                    • run command:  mv /usr/sbin/bsnmpd  /usr/sbin/bsnmpd.old
                                    • run command: reboot

                                    Now the system will start normally.  Do not forget to disable snmp after the boot.

                                    I got only a "command not found" when running mount, fsck or reboot.
                                    I noticed that /sbin/ was not in the PATH-variable, so I had to use the full path for mount, fsck and reboot: /sbin/mount, /sbin/fsck and /sbin/reboot

                                      I also tried to rename the bsnmpd.conf - without luck.

                                      I tried different things and in the end, it's working now …
                                      1. I installed 2.2 (memstick-serial-release) using an usb stick - using default values during installation process.
                                      2. I booted up the pfsense and configured the necessary VLAN, the WAN and the LAN interface via serial console.
                                      3. I imported the config.xml (copied away from the "old" failed installation via usb drive) over the webinterface - NOPE, after a reboot, I had the same problems again
                                      4. I started over (steps 1 & 2) and imported only parts (areas) from the old config.xml via the webinterface - SUCCESS. Just without OpenVPN certificates yet ...
                                      5. I exported the current configuration via the webinterface, inserted ONLY the <ca>- and <cert>-section of the old config.xml into the new config.xml. Then I restored the modified configuration via the webinterface (areas: "all") and rebooted - NOPE, same problems ...
                                      6. I started over (steps 1, 2, 4). First I thought there might be something wrong with the certificates, but: I exported the configuration via the webinterface, and restored EXACTLY THE SAME configuration via the webinterface (areas: "all") - NOPE, same problems ...
                                      7. In the end, I started over (steps 1, 2, 4), downloaded the current configuration via webinterface, inserted the <ca>- and <cert>-sections, copied this config to an usb-drive, and replaced the file /cf/conf/config.xml with this file. After a reboot, everything is working, even OpenVPN.

                                      I'm wondering if the WebGUI-Restore-Functionality is broken in 2.2 ... ?
                                      Export seems to work without problems, as I used it for my current configuration (step 7)

                                        If the problem is only related to bsnmpd and for those who can live without snmp, isn't it enough to simply disable snmp before upgrading and then upgrade to 2.2 ?

                                          Someone that can replicate this, could you get me a config that exhibits the issue? I've tried a wide range of things and haven't found a way to replicate. Could PM it to me.

                                          @GLR:

                                          Yes, that would be adequate.

                                            Isn't it enough to (try to) run 2.2 on an APU unit with bsnmpd enabled ?
