      Hi Steve,

      it might be a little late now and I don't know whether it is related to the original issue but there seem to be still issues related to CARP. I tried an upgrade from 2.1.5 to 2.2.1 (RELEASE) as described in my post here with 2.2 (RELEASE): https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=87485.msg480549#msg480549

      I get "pfsync_undefer_state: unable to find deferred state" printed in the console and the it just hangs after the upgrade process (after reboot). Since it is a virtual machine (a backup node) I can easily revert and try again if you you want me to test something. I even tried to restore the configuration on a fresh install with 2.2.1. I got the same error message printed all over the screen.

          Oh, that was some very sad news. I was really looking forward to have this carp kernel thing fixes  :(

            If any of you have a chance to test this in 2.2.1-rel and submit a crash report we'd love to see it.

                Awesome, can you send me the IP they came from? Use a PM if you want.

                        Great. We are trying to replicate this but are just seeing continuous error messages without the crash.
                        Do any of you have any special Limiter setup? Can you give any details?

                        Steve

                          Marlenio,
                          Looks like the most recent crash report we have from that IP is Mar 3rd. Could they have come from a different IP?

                            Hi steve,
                            213.215.138 is VIP of the first output array of pfSense (2 units HA mode). Master IP is 213.215.138.67, BACKUP 213.215.138.71. Let me know if you find it.

                            Thanks in advance,

                            –

                                It 's very strange. I'm sure it was sent at least three times.  :(

                                  Can anyone tell us where that patch is, We are having the same issues when applying limiters with CARP and HA.

                                  Thanks,

                                  Tom

                                    Yes, that patch is in 2.2.1 and has been in snaps since Feb.
                                    If you are seeing this problem and are running 2.2.1 can you make sure you keep any crashreports and tell us what hardware you're running.
                                    Thanks.

                                      I have to same problem when I upgrade Pfsense from 2.1.5 to 2.2.1…

                                      Pfsense is running on virtualcenter 2.5. (Never had this before)

                                      I tried twice, but nothing changed, this message is looping on the screen, and vm is using 100% CPU. There's no crash, but pfsense is useless.

                                      I'm not using any high availability services (only limiters)

                                        Yes, it's the same error on my carp 2.2.1 with limiters.

                                          Steve,

                                          I would really like to help but don't know how. Have you been able to reproduce the behavior? I am back on 2.1.5 now and could repeat the update process. Apart from the non-existing crash reports what else would you need or could be useful?

                                          I have HA and limiters configured and pfSense runs on KVM/QEMU.

                                          As mentioned before, I got "pfsync_undefer_state: unable to find deferred state" printed in the console after the upgrade process on the backup node (after reboot).

                                          I got Mathiew's behavior when I tried to restore my 2.1.5 configuration from the backup node on a fresh install with 2.2.1. In both cases, I had to "physically" shut down the machine.

                                          Florian

                                            So we are able to replicate the continuous log spam but not any sort of crash. Though in our test the box remained running and accessible. We are looking for crash reports really but any info is useful.

                                            Mathiew, you are seeing that on a single VM? No CARP/HA setup at all?
                                            That's interesting. What NICs are you using? What limiters do you have defined?
