21.02 Sudden lockup
-
@mcury Awesome find! It kinda makes sense as it was happening to me hourly. I have pfblockerng disable now. I do wonder if the corn schedule still kicks in?
EDIT: It does. I just had to reboot the box.
Looks like I have to find a way to disable the cron. -
+1 also experiencing the hang described here. Disabling pfBlockerNg helped.
-
Are you running the dev version of pfBlocker?
Does it 'lock up' as it's running the reload or once it's completed?
How large are you aliases/blocklists?
I have the non-dev package running and am not seeing that but only have limited dnsbl lists loaded.

@stephenw10 I am running pfBlockerNG-devel 3.0.0_10. The alias/blocklists are whatever is OOTB, I didn't customize anything.
By "lockup" I mean the LAN/WAN interfaces are completely unresponsive. Console access is fine.
P.S. I cross posted to this thread to make sure that @BBcan177 (the developer of pfBlockerNG) is aware.

@stephenw10 pfBlockerNG net 2.1.4_24
I do have several lists loading.
My Max table Entry is: 4000000Another thing I notice is that vnstad keeps crashing:

Running the pfblockerng-devel 3.0.0_10, didn't customize anything, just ran the wizard, so it's a normal amount of aliases/blocklists.
No, it doesn't 'lock up' as it's running the reload or once it's completed, it finishes the process, and it's triggered if I reboot in this phase:Syncing OpenVPN settings...done.
Configuring firewall.Segmentation fault (core dumped) <<<
Starting CRON... done. -
Ah, OK so part way through the boot after loading the alises/lists?
Can you give us an idea of the numbers? I have:

Exactly.
Packages installed: Acme, NUT, pfBlockerng-devel, aws-wizard, ipsec-profile-wizard.
It doesn't seem to be a memory issue:

@stephenw10 My SG-3100 locked up again with pfblocker disabled. no cron running.
Unless the cron is running even though is been told to disable.
You guys have a bigger issue here. -
@mcury I don't think is a pfblocker issue TBH.
Mine keeps locking up even though is fully disabled, I am now going to uninstall it. -
@ffuentes Try to set the pfblocker cron settings to run once a day, instead of one hour to confirm if the problem will happen to you again.
Or completely remove the pfblockerng package. If it happens again even without the package installed (not only disabled). We will have a better understanding about it.. -
@mcury I just uninstalled it. Let see how far the rabbit holes go. :/

Let's hope that we all here have the same problem, one fix is faster than two or more :)
-
@mcury I also disabled and got a lockup again just now. This is bad news, folks. I don’t think it’s pfBlockerNG either.
How do I downgrade back to 2.4.5p1?

Try to remove pfblockerng package, just to make sure tick that setting to remove the configuration too, this option is inside pfblockerng.

Reinstall & restore Config Backup

Completely agree. I am trying to avoid going back to the previous version to try and help narrow this down.
But is really causing a lot of pain as it seems to be very consistent. (That's good news in a technical way)I have a console up and running via USB to see if I can catch anything, but is a HARD lockup. You can't get any output at all.

Hm, the console also stops? You can't reboot it through the console?
Did you upgrade from 2.4.5p1 or performed a clean 21.02 install? -
@mcury I did an upgrade. 2.4.5p1 -> 21.02.
One hour later, instant lockup, and happily ever since (not... but you get the idea
)Worth mentioning that after hours of troubleshooting I did do a factory default, and reconfigure everything. Still the same behavir.
-
@ffuentes I've been watching this thread all day. It seems the focus is turning to pfblockerNG, yet I have uninstalled all my packages. Removing PfblockerNG-devel did lengthen the time between lockups, it did not eliminate the problem.
edit: I am rebooting via USB cable->putty->console
