RuleError:There were errors loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:18: cannot alloc
-
Just wanted to say that I got the same message today, although my system says that its default is 6 million entries.
-
Set it to 400000.
-
Worked perfectly, thank you!
-
@derelict hello, i have set it in 400000 and even don't work. Can you suggest any other solution, please?
-
Use a bigger number. Try
2000000.If you have a lot of table entries (especially with pfBlockerNG) you might need that or more.

And be sure you're changing the right value. People, for some reason, seem to confuse Maximum States and Maximum Table Entries. Maximum Table Entries is what you want to change here.
-
ok that works !
ps : if i put it to 500000 ? is there any pb ?
-
500000 should be fine.
-
@Derelict Ok got it. Thx ! :)

How this value correspond or depend to total amount of avail for FreeBSD system memory ?
Please point me on a source where described in details how important for network operations resources like
- NICs controllers (CPU, memory on controllers, number of Eth ports on each controller);
- whole appliance memory amount;
- main appliance CPU;
and - memory/network/cpu core settings in FreeBSD;
influence on pfSense speed, troughtput and stability of operation.
Common words are less interesting than numbers, of course :)
Thank You!
