SG-3100 Keeps Initializing after Power outage
-
The device is working for a couple of weeks now, but there has been a power outage and after that we can't now access the GUI.
We tried doing a hard reset but the indicator lights just keep blinking (initializing).
How can we solve this problem?

Which can actually break the file system **
If this happens, hook up the console access, and then start the device. See what happens.
After all the 'hardware enumeration' you'll see a message that says that the file system is dirty. A tool called 'fsk' is run to repair that situation. If it doesn't work out, you have to do it manually.
Because this situation happens way before the GUI works, console access is mandatory.
Use this Netgate video as a guide-line.Think about hooking up an UPS to your pfSense device.
** take your PC, and rip out the cable or battery while it's running. It will complain when it's restart. Do this several time, and you'll be good for a re install, loosing all your files.
( so please just believe me don't do this just to proof me wrong / right )@tiger-0 said in SG-3100 Keeps Initializing after Power outage:

That's like playing 'Russisch roulette' with your pfSense device.
