  • Critical bug in 2.3 branch when use virtualized pfsense (KVM)
    The similar problem https://forum.netgate.com/topic/104013/pfsense-not-responding-at-console
    Hardware
    proliant dl380g8 (tryed diferent machines)
    Newly instaled version without pakages
    EIST disabled
    NTP disabled
    Configuration as in manual for proxmox https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/virtualization/virtualizing-pfsense-with-proxmox.html

    What Points you need? I find three similar themes on forum without any idea Its no normal

    Critical bug in 2.3 bench

    What's 2.3 bench??

    Generally, and this is true for all IT troubleshooting, you need to provide details of your equipment, what you did with it, and what happened including any error messages or other output. People can't read your mind. The more detail you provide, the easier it will be to help you.

    At this point I will bow out since I odn't have any KVM experience (I run under VMware).

    And in another thread you're asking about 2.4.3... 😕

  • Hi Stephen I have this errors on both vesions in KVM (Proxmox) hypervisor(
    updated version recently). I tryed disable NTP severs change NTP pools reinstall PFsense, cpu units change, Change timecounters without result

    In virtualized OpNsense have similar kernel panic with filtellog flood but connection fall down (in PF works DHCP,NAT, etc.

    Anytime when I needed acces to cli or web UI I have to suspend and resume VM. I think is temporary solution add to cronjob console comad №11(restart web configurator) with 30-60sec interval.
    If this does not work to me IPfire firewall my reserve plan

    So which pfSense version are you testing?

  • Version of my test instalation 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2 (amd64)
    Maybe need some logs or output?
    I think is problem with webconfigurator how to add correct cron job comand like: 1 * * * * root etc/rc.restart_webgui ? This can work?

  • Netgate Administrator

    Ok, so how are you seeing that logs if you have no access to the GUI or console? Does it not fail immediately?

    What are the results of: sysctl kern.timecounter

    You might try switching to one of the other timecounters:
    sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware=ACPI-fast

    You can add that in System Tunables if it fixes it.

  • @stephenw10 When i suspend and resume Pfsense VM in Proxmox cli and web gui unfrozen + (have some kernel messages calcru) but it works and trafig hase go even webui/cli have not response. I conect fro my nat on 192.168.1.1
    I have low trafic and load resources up to 30% max
    Maybe need to try set maximum performance in bios? Irony in the situation that linux work more stable over bsd system in my test lab :(

    You mean shutdown and restart or actually suspend?

    Hmm, not sure I've ever tried that. Does it only show that error when you resume it?

    Sorry I missed a bit there, the sysctl should be kern.timecounter.hardware

    Did you try it at the command line first?

    Steve

  • @stephenw10
    Mostly yes. According to my observations, sometimes the calcru error enters the log not immediately, but at intervals after a pause. Basically, the console simply stops responding or responding via ssh and the web UI stops responding sometimes with a 502 bad gateway. Now I have installed sysctl kern.timecounter = ACPI-fast will reboot and look at the reaction. If I fail, I will try to improve performance and frequency.

    Like this alt text Hase a diference with cli or with UI config edit?

  • Netgate Administrator

    That's correct. It will apply via the GUI like that but it's then permanent. If you test it from the CLI first and it does something unexpected you can just reboot.

  • Hi Stepen yesterday error is gone and server work stable access to cli and web UI was anytime when was small trafic but after night when trafic was zero error come back again. Need more time to watch on the actions and need to tweak to max performance or maybe I can add some cron jobs to prevent falling asleep webconfigurator or this is more fundamental timecounter problems?

    kern.timecounter.hardware is still set to ACPI-fast?

    You could try the TSC-low timecounter also if you#re still seeing issues. That is lower quality though.

  • @stephenw10 said in PFSense 2.4.4 not responding at console and web interface CRITICAL BUG! HELP!:

    That is lower quality though.

    Last hours work stable :) Thank you for the professional help from expert its helps for my case!
    Fought this problem for several months, there was no desire to leave PfSense.
    This is my first experience with BSD systems. Several years watched pfsense and not in vain awesome project

    What you mean That is lower quality though?
    I have enother qestion about VM cputime (units) what optimal recomended value for PFsense in KVM?

    Does it make sense to increase the frequency or processor time for more stable operation

    The quality value shown in brackets denotes the accuracy of the timecounter source which is why HPET was chosen by default. That can be a problem when all the hardware is virtual, some may be virtualised better than others for whatever reason.

    I can't really advice you on KVM settings directly. I would think anything that is different to the host CPU is going to require more processing from the hypervisor. Passing CPU cores directly to the VM is probably better. But as I say I don't use KVM so that's speculation. I'm sure there are others here who can give better advice there.

  • @stephenw10 Hi Stephen. UI and console was resopnsive after 15 hours and stable work

    Cool. So which timecounter did you end up using for reference?

  • @stephenw10 I just add kern.timecounter.hardware=ACPI-fast from web UI in tunables and reboot the PFsense VM :)
