      Interesting. I'm not aware of any specific fixes that have gone in for this since the earlier snapshots. Perhaps something else was causing the issue.
      I'm sure we'll see many more reports in the next few days to condom or deny this.

        Two CARP upgraded (each one with two server), the first yesterday, the last one today. Works without problems: low CPU, CARP without error and log spam, and the back CARP with limiter on bandwidth. I don't know why, but 2.2.2 really works.  :)

          In 2.2.2 there is still a problem i found in 2.2.1, as i said before: on limited rules, i need to unchek  the flag "State Type" to "NO pfsync". If i don't, CARP Slave randomly crash.
          As i said before, in my CARP configuration limited rules are only HTTP and HTTPS: the state is not really important for me. However, 2.2.2 it is much better than 2.2.1.  :)

            Fixed all my issues! I made my limiter rules, set them to 10Mbps, applied the firewall and did a test :)

            [omitted@omitted ~]# wget cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test

                Have you tried a 2.2.3 snapshot, if you are able to?
                There have been fixes gone in to address this though it seems not all cases have been resolved. Some here have reported success.

                  I sent a couple crash logs for this yesterday.  This is on version 2.2.4.

                    Interesting to find this thread.  We didn't have this issue until upgrading from 2.2.6 to 2.3.1_5.  It does look like it is logged during a nightly copy that triggers a limiter, ending when the traffic stops.

                    Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                    When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

                      In 2.3.1 there is a checkbox "No pfSync" on the rule, but checking that doesn't avoid the error message.  Nor does setting "State type" to None.

                      I can duplicate by simply using "rsync –dry-run" so it's not like it needs a lot of traffic.

                          No direct cause has yet been found as far as I know.

                          Obviously we would like to resolve it as soon as possible.
