      hi i installed a pfsense box version 2.4.1 and it is crashing every few hours, I tried reinstalling, tried saving the configuration and put it on another box and it too keeps restarting.
      not sure what to do now, can anyone help.

      the box is providing internet via ipsec from another pfesnse box.

      here is the crash dump:

        Could you send a few more pages of dump reports just to be sure there is enough info….  (-;

        Could be wrong, but usually with regular repeating dumps, I start looking for something thats failing, like ram.

        Maybe 10 more pages of dumps...  The guys on the forum will enjoy that.

            Are you saying you put pfsense on 2 other boxes and they are rebooting often also?

              The "softdep_setup_allocdirect: lost block" sounds like a file-system problem.. strange it would occur directly after re-installation on new hardware though..

                the box is providing internet via ipsec from another pfesnse box.

                And all Internet traffic is going through the other box? And all DHCP and DNS entries must be
                cached and for caching they must be stored too, perhaps on one end to less RAM available?

                  on 1 other box, 2 in all.

                    yea, both are brand new hardware (https://www.pondesk.com/product/Intel-Atom-E3845-4-LAN-Intel-AES-Fanless-Firewall-Router_MNHO-048)

                    with ssd harddrive.

                      i used this guide to route internet to our main site, so only ipsec traffic is leaving the firewall that is crashing.
