      Hey, due to an issue with log-rotation, the rootfs of my pfSense ran full without me noticing.
      After an unsuspecting config change (edited a Firewall alias), all networking suddenly failed. I established a Serial Console connection to the machine, I noticed that my routing table is completely empty:

      # netstat -rWn
      Routing tables
      
      Internet:
      Destination        Gateway            Flags       Use    Mtu      Netif Expire
      127.0.0.1          link#15            UH            0  16384        lo0
      
      Internet6:
      Destination                       Gateway                       Flags       Use    Mtu    Netif Expire
      ::1                               link#15                       UH            0  16384      lo0
      fe80::%lo0/64                     link#15                       U             0  16384      lo0
      fe80::1%lo0                       link#15                       UHS           0  16384      lo0
      

      I've cleared space on the disk and rebooted several times. I also tried touching /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd6.leases after reading this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/5957

      It didn't help. Interface configuration is still there and looks good. Is there any way to recover from this?
