Thank you tman222. When I put these changes into the executable prompt of the pfS or via SSH, is a reboot required?

Thank you tman222. I've seen your username also in a German FreeBSD forum. When I put these changes into the executable prompt of the pfS or via SSH, is a reboot required?
I would put them in your
loader.conf.localfile and then reboot. Once system has rebooted, login via ssh and confirm via the sysctl command that the tunables are properly set and then test. -
@tman222 said in PC Engines apu2 experiences:
sysctl
I did what you have recommended and could achieve the confirmation about tuneables via sysctl -f loader.conf.local file after reboot. I've tried both values whereas 2048 had a slightly better value with 58Mbit/s. Resuming by keeping also an eye on processor load, with pfS 2.4.5p1 the throughput was more than 40% higher (96Mbit/s) at the same processor load with approx 94%. I'm expecting the processing power of the AMD GX-412TC within the APU2C4 design is at its end supporting FreeBSD12.2 or higher, the NIC's and their integration are fine for me.

@tele_01 - thanks for following up. Since the
hw.igb.rx_process_limitandhw.igb.tx_process_limittunables were removed in FreeBSD 12+, I was hoping that thehw.em.rx_process_limittunable might be a replacement for bothemandigbbased cards (since those drivers were combined). But perhaps not. Interestingly enough, in my case I'm actually seeing somewhat of a throughput increase from 2.4.5p1 to 2.5.0, albeit with a more powerful system (Intel Xeon D-1518 based). -
@tman222 You are welcome - I was also interested. I went back to pfS 2.4.5p1 and I'm on 101Mbit/s throughput again with OpenVPN.

on pfSense this is the real goal with it...
and plus from @viktor_g " support for PKCS#11 authentication (e.g. hardware tokens such as Yubikey) for IPsec: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9878"

@qinn said in PC Engines apu2 experiences:
When you are still using UFS it is best to move over to the filesystem ZFS
Another big advantage of ZFS is the snapshot feature. If you did a snapshot of your working 2.4.5 system before upgrading to 2.5 you can easily roll back to a fully installed and working 2.4.5 system in seconds if the bugs/issues/performance are causing you headaches.
This morning I rolled back. I’ll wait a while longer until the inevitable patches come out before thinking of upgrading again.
-
@vollans Maybe explain in detail how you did that step-by-step snapshot and the rollback, many are not familiar with copy-on-write systems like zfs and btrfs

@qinn @Vollans - I also would be interested in hearing about this. I was under the impression ZFS wasn't really useful on a single-disk setup.
I have all my pfsense's on ZFS with a single Disk.
One day my UPS was going crazy (before she died) and switched power on / off in a short interval - the pfsense restarted, after I get a spare UPS in place, without any complains - is this good enough to show the advantages of ZFS?

@logan5247 I’ll get it typed up in a couple of hours. It’s not tricky.
ZFS is a lot more robust that UFS and is definitely worth the effort to use. As it says above, a power failure is far less likely to cause loss of data, and a hard reboot in case of lockups again is highly unlikely to result in loss of data. And if you do snapshots before and after major upgrades you’re in a good place to revert if things go nuts.

fireodo....of course RAID gives more redundancy, best is more disks using RAID. As the problem with a single disk and "copies" is the same as creating an mdadm raid-1 using two partitions of the same disk: you have data redundancy, but not disk redundancy, as disk failure will cause the loss of both data sets.
Then ZFS, like btrfs, is copy-on-write, so power surges are never a problem and ZFS requires a system with ECC memory (APU2 has this), otherwise you're still not 100% safeguarded against bit errors.. -

Sorry, ended up being a couple of days due to events.

Check that you're using ZFS and what it's called, usually zroot
zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT zroot 2.43G 9.68G 88K /zroot zroot/ROOT 1.69G 9.68G 88K none zroot/ROOT/default 1.69G 9.68G 1.40G / zroot/tmp 496K 9.68G 496K /tmp zroot/var 751M 9.68G 401M /varTurn on listing of snapshots just to make life easier:
zpool set listsnapshots=on zrootDo your first snapshot - the bit after the @ sign is your name for the snapshot. I usually do a base, then @date or installed version similar:
zfs snapshot zroot@21-03-05 zfs snapshot zroot/ROOT@21-03-05 zfs snapshot zroot/ROOT/default@21-03-05 zfs snapshot zroot/var@21-03-05There is no point in snapshotting the tmp directory. It is normal to get no feedback from those commands.
Check you have a snapshot
zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT zroot 2.43G 9.68G 88K /zroot zroot@21-03-05 0 - 88K - zroot/ROOT 1.69G 9.68G 88K none zroot/ROOT@21-03-05 0 - 88K - zroot/ROOT/default 1.69G 9.68G 1.40G / zroot/ROOT/default@21-03-05 0 - 1.40G - zroot/tmp 496K 9.68G 496K /tmp zroot/var 752M 9.68G 401M /var zroot/var@21-03-05 1.48M - 401M -Do a snapshot whenever you make major changes, such as going from 2.4.5 to 2.5. Normal config changes it would be overkill for as the config backup would be enough.
You can remove your most recent snapshot with the commands, where the bit after @ is the snapshot name:
zfs destroy zroot/var@21-03-05 zfs destroy zroot/ROOT/default@21-03-05 zfs destroy zroot/ROOT@21-03-05 zfs destroy zroot@21-03-05If disaster strikes, otherwise known as 2.5, you can roll back to 2.4.5p1 working state by restoring the snapshot:
zfs rollback zroot/var@21-03-05 zfs rollback zroot/ROOT/default@21-03-05 zfs rollback zroot/ROOT@21-03-05 zfs rollback zroot@21-03-05 shutdown -r nowThe final line is vital! You MUST immediately reboot after rolling back the whole OS otherwise Bad Things Happen (TM).
There is also method in my madness of doing the rollback with /var first. If the var rollback fails, it's not the end of the world, and you can work out what you did wrong without putting the whole system at risk.
