2.4.2 suddenly started to completely HANG on 2 ESXi6 hosts
-
It was running fine for years. Never had a lockup/freeze like these. Yesterday it was 4 times.
No pinging and the Console was completely frozen without any error/warning messages showing. Had to hard-poweroff the vm and start it again.
Both ESXI hosts are running dozens of other VMs without any problems.Version 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)

I've never seen those messages before. Been running pfSense on ESXI since 4.1. Currently on 6.5.
