Hi Guys,
We have faced the issue again on one of our site and we need to rebuilt the firewal as it was crash after we reboot.
Please let me know if any one has solution for this.
Thanks

Have you checked the SMART parameters from these SSDs? Firmware updates?

Hi Steve,
Yes, we have run SMART parameter on SSD its seems fine and yesterday one more pfsense failed with the same error.
Please have a look on SMART report.
Thanks

the same issue was with me. before i was using sata 500GB and i also check 320GB but now i am using 40GB IDE but first you check from bios go to device information page there press enter by selecting HD chnage the reading method from auto to LBA . this trick work for me now pfsense is working fine since two weeks.

ishtiaqaj, we are not using IDE hard disk, we are using SSD hard disks and for few weeks our firewall is also working fine but its gives error in between after few weeks.

dear tarun, you should also check bios hd option there are three option lbs chs and large you should try large mai b it solve your probelm. yes the firewall work someday and than down…

The smart parameters all look reasonable.
You said you tried multiple drives but were they all identical SSDs? As Jim suggested here and Chris in your other thread it's not unheard of for a whole batch of drives to have firmware bug that your particular setup is triggering.
Have you tried running from a standard SATA drive as a test?Steve

I have encountered the same problem, when I activated
System: Advanced: Miscellaneous
Use RAM Disks with default /tmp (40 mb) /var (60 mb) ram disk sizes and
with 3hrs periodic frequenciesI had to restore configuration to an earlier state without these settings activated via ssh and reboot. (uninstalled havp package & dashboard widget, but I don't think that was the issue)
I can finally log back in via web interface.
here are some info without these settings set up

There's a good chance the HAVP package could have filled /tmp there. That's normally only applied in embedded (Nano) installs where running HAVP is not recomended.
Increase the size of /tmp if that's the case.Steve
