      Hello people.

      I recently upgraded pfSense from 2 clients, from 2.4.4-p2 to 2.4.4-p3, and the two after a short while of use, starts to go into a boot loop and just reinstall to work again.
      Note: pfSense is installed on a Hyper-V virtual machine.

      Has anyone been through this? Do you know what may be happening?

            I've had mine go into a boot loop with disk corruption when restarting the host after MS updates (on 2012R2). I found pfSense did not want to save state nor would the server successfully shut it down, and I have since started manually shutting it down before host reboot. I also use a fixed disk and memory size because FreeBSD did not seem to recognize dynamic anyway.
