      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.
