      @magnus1720 said in State Table full / Out of Sync after update to 2.4.4:

      The pfSense is a VM on a HyperV server 2012 R2.

      This is the second recent post about the state table filling up when running 2.4.4 on HyperV/Server 2012.

          True, but both of those were posted by OutbackMatt about slightly different aspects of the same problem, I thought.

          @magnus1720

          Have you seen any time sync problems like those OutbackMatt described?

            Once it starts the dashboard doesn’t change at all, clearing states doesn’t help it ether, only a reboot can fix it.
            In the System log I mostly see messages like the below.
            arp: 172.16.80.134 moved from 00:34:da:50:a7:91 to cc:25:ef:8d:f4:51 on hn3

            @biggsy
            No but I have now disabled integration settings for time sync in HyperV.

            I have dumped the state table and imported it to a access database.
            And for destination 8.8.8.8:53 there are 33156 records. (These will be Guest devices accessing internet using googls DNS)
            From local IPs to 8.8.8.8 MULTIPLE:SINGLE

            And from my Domain controller to DNS forwarders there are a total of 64240 records
            This will be domain joined devices
            So, it seems like states are simply not being closed.

              Short of rebooting you might try a quick pfctl -d followed by a pfctl -e.

                pfctl -d followed by a pfctl -e didn’t change anything. It did confirm the change that pf was disenabled and then enabled again.
                I also updated to 2.4.4-RELEASE-p1 but again I am still seeing the issue.

                  You might try disabling pf then clearing the state table from the command line:

                  [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@5100.stevew.lan]/root: pfctl -d
pf disabled
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@5100.stevew.lan]/root: pfctl -F states
3 states cleared

                  Or indeed if pfctl -s info shows the correct state table size count.

                    That didn’t change anything ether, but I will reinstall pfsense today and import the config. Perhaps this helps.

                      What about the pfctl state table count at the CLI, was that correct?
