[SOLVED] Router reboots in a day after upgrade to new snapshot
-
Loosing logs on a unexpected reboot and having "RAM Disk enabled" likely explains that part..
What packages do you have installed.?. -

What packages do you have installed.?.I've installed ntopng in past long time ago, but it didn't work well with RAM disk, so I've removed it and do not have any packages besides stock pfSense.
-
Could you disable the ram disks before the next update.? That should hopefully keep logs around to tell something more about the 'crash'.

It slows down the system significantly, but I'll try. I suspect, however, that it is actually caused by enabling RAM Disk (partially because of increased RAM usage right after upgrade).
-
One more think that indicates RAM Disk problem is that Periodic RAM Disk Data Backups is configured to 1 hour (all 3 options there) and the fact that no system logs and no RRD data were saved makes me wondering what happened to this feature and how to check if it was/is properly scheduled.

I've disabled RAM Disk, rebooted and upgraded the system.
It is running for 2 days and 17 hours now without any crashes and issues. Here are relevant system logs:Jun 23 00:12:17 php-fpm 35108 /rc.start_packages: Restarting/Starting all packages.

It happened for a third time, definitetly not a coincidense.
This time it freezed while I was at my working machine. Didn't have monitor attached to the router, so I've hard rebooted it (maybe it would reboot itself after some time, I don't know).This time it survived a little bit over 3 days, all the logs from the moment upgrade started and till freeze are lost again:

- memory consumption right after upgrade is higher than it is otherwise
- logs are not persisted to disk each hour as they should
- system freezes/reboots after some time
-
Memory usage going to 20% instead of 10% by itself shouldn't cause trouble.. It might be interesting to see what processes are using that memory.. Though actually i wouldn't worry about that itself to much.. During bootup after a upgrade some extra steps are made to check/upgrade packages though once that finishes probably should expect memory usage to drop a little..
Perhaps try a MemTest image and check if any of the memory sticks is faulty.? Or maybe remove some of its memory dimms as it has plenty of memory it seems.?.
Backup job
When the upgrade is done it could be nice to check if 'ps -A | grep cron' shows that thats running.. As that should call the log backup scripts.. Check under 'cat /etc/crontab | grep rc.backup' if the 3 rc.backup jobs are scheduled.
And check after a hour if the '/cf/conf/RAM_Disk_Store/' is getting filled with new tgz files..
If not try running them manually from console? To see if that succeeds..Freeze/reboot
Might be caused by faulty memory, though could be lots of other things..
Really difficult to tell something usefull here without some log/error to indicate what is actually going wrong..RAM Disk
Please do try to attach a monitor when it happens or leave the RAM disk disabled it shouldnt affect performance much as pretty much everything a stock pfSense install does is move packets around, and that shouldn't need any disk access.. Anything specific there? Big captive portal with usage voucher counting or something?Overall you could re-install pfSense from scratch.? And restore the config file.. That way at least we know for sure that all binaries/filestructures arent a problem..
-
For the cron backup job it seems like the crontab itself is actually not properly written..
-
Ok so the backup job itself should get fixed once the pull-request is approved/pulled: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/3771 .
For the crashes/hang issue.. I still don't have a clue..

I've tested memory with Windows memory testing available in boot menu (just because it works with UEFI and memtest86 does not), after 2 loops it didn't find any issues, so memory should be fine.
And it doesn't have plenty of memory (well, comparing to regular routers it does), just one 2G SO-DIMM stick of DDR3L.Also I've checked memory stats before and after upgrade, it seems that Memory usage shows Total memory - Free, while I was expecting just Active. So it is confusing (should be changed?) but generally memory consumption is fine after upgrade.
It seems you've found the issue with backup job, so it should also be fixed at some point.
I've initially enabled RAM Disk because of extremely slow USB 2.0 flash drive where pfSense lived, it was painfully slow and affected router performance a lot on any disk activity. Now I've upgraded to much faster USB 3.0 flash drive, but it is still not a proper SSD, so I'd like to avoid unnecessary writes there.
I'll try to keep display connected and get something more about those freezes/reboots when it happens next time.
Thank you for your help so far!

Ok, I've being tweaking UI with some Wi-Fi settings and then let it alone for few minutes and discovered that it feezed again and then rebooted itself (after a bit over 5 days uptime).

Without RAM disk, if the kernel was crashing it should write a dump file to /var/crash/ .. But then dashboard should show a big banner that tells it found that dump file.
Unless of-course there is a problem with the storage / usb connections / usb controllers that causes the crash, then it cant write anything.. I'm just wildly guessing here though.. Sorry..

I thinks I've found the reason. It was faulty flash drive, it was returning read/write operations.
