May 2nd Snapshot doesnt work, breaks everything! Beware
-
Installed the version before this (took forever to download on hotspot).
I have my pfsense settings backup every night. Restored the file and VOILA everything is back to working perfectly.
On a side note: Their backup feature is just amazing. I cant believe how well it puts everything back. Every package, every setting of that package, just WOW
If anyone is wondering what I use to backup

I'm using the May 2 version just fine. I'm running 2.4.4.a.20180502.1614. It's a VM inside ESXI.

I’ve been having issues from snapshots from the last week or so now, I thought it was just WebGUI dying but actually that was just what I happened to notice first as routing etc was working but DHCP has been dying too. Power cycling cures the problems for a day but by next morning issues have returned.
When I try to restart from console I get a message init: some processes would not die; ps axl advised which I haven’t done yet (next time it dies I’ll shut down from console.). Are there any other checks you folks would advise while I’m there?

I have updated to the May 2nd snapshot and my WAN connection refuses to use IPv4 DHCP and receive an address. It received an IPv6 DHCP and an IPv4 gateway and that is it. No assigned IPv4 address to the interface. My other two static addressed interfaces for other WAN's works fine. Just any interface with DHCP IPv4 doesn't seem to work.

Just updated this morning, pfsense doesn't boot :(
I don't have any backups. Where do I go from here (linux noob)?

I believe I also remember seeing the may 2nd build was based on FreeBSD 11.2 (currently 11.1).
Maybe this has something to do with it.

May 2 snapshots are working fine for me here on both real and virtual hardware, with static and DHCP WAN setups (IPv4 and IPv6).
Any other logs, details, errors, etc?

That looks more like your disk ran out of space or something else caused the kernel to be corrupted. You'll need to reinstall. Luckily, the installer has an option to rescue the config.xml off the target drive so you might not be completely out of luck. That's most likely unrelated to this thread, though, so if you need more help start a fresh thread for that.

What other logs do you need?
I have a Multi-WAN setup with 1 DHCP and 1 Static connection.
I also keep sending in this crash report:
Crash report details:
PHP Errors:
[03-May-2018 01:11:30 America/Regina] PHP Warning: file_get_contents(/tmp/igb2_router): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/inc/gwlb.inc on line 1225No FreeBSD crash data found.
-
Anything else that seems relevant from any other logs. Like the DHCP log for dhclient, for example.

Should I see the snapshot? My SG-3100 says I am up to date with the last update being from April 25th.

"built on Wed Apr 25 02:28:12 CDT 2018"If you see that, you're probably on the Factory images and not CE. Factory needs more work before the FreeBSD 11-STABLE (11.2-PRERELEASE) builds are ready.

Yes, thats it. The SG-3100 is still within the first year so it gets the factory image. No rush, just curious.

You can use the factory image indefinitely, not just the first year.

I suspect I may have found part of the issue people are seeing in this thread:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8495
It's possible that your firewall never rebooted after updating and it's running half updated, if you run /etc/rc.reboot that will do most of the process but the last command fails, you can then safely run 'reboot' after to finish the job.
For example:
/etc/rc.reboot /sbin/rebootOnce you're on a snap with the fix I just committed for that bug it will restart itself OK again.

Ran the commands and my DHCP connection still isn't coming back.

I just updated to 2.4.4 built on Thu May 03 18:39:20 CDT 2018 and it's generating a crash report, which I sent.
I'm still having dhcpv6 problems. I put wireshark on it and there do not seem to be any ipv6 messages at all.
-
Getting this error now in console with build: 2.4.4.a.20180503.1839
-
Something is definitly wrong with those builds, I cant halt or reboot via gui or ssh…
-
I reverted to 2.4.3 release and it works fine.
