<![CDATA[XML error: RRDDATA at line 2983 cannot occur more than once]]>I had a disk die in a router yesterday, and after reinstalling pfSense I tried to load the backup, however after doing that the only thing pfSense's web interface would show was

XML error: RRDDATA at line 2983 cannot occur more than once

I had to open config.xml in console, and comment out the second <rrddata>element, then reboot manually to finish the restore. Afterwards when I created a config backup, it again contained two <rrddata>elements (note that while both are similar, <xmldata>differs between both).

pfSense version is 2.3.3_p1</xmldata></rrddata></rrddata>

It shouldn't be in there persistently.

Is there an error on the console or in the system log about it not being able to import the RRD info?
