Ryzen 3 2200G randomly crashing

Try a snapshot and see if it's still crashing in 2.4.4. I have several boxes running 2.5 snaps here without issue currently. Though they are still just code snapshots so things might break.

So I think I've fixed this by trial and error network tuning. I might make a separate thread for fine tuning NTP node or heavy UDP traffic behind pfSense. I'm using an Intel I210 (igb driver) as my WAN (Referred to me as a previous fix in this thread, but I could probably have kept the Gigabit CT in) and 1 port on an Intel X520-DA2 (ix driver) as my LAN. So far with this setup I've been running 3 days stable. I'll update with any further tuning updates if the need arises.

Under System -> Advanced -> Networking I have:

Hardware Checksum Offloading unchecked. (Enabled)
Hardware TCP Segmentation Offloading checked. (Disabled)
Hardware Large Receive Offloading checked. (Disabled)

kern.ipc.nmbclusters="1000000"
kern.ipc.nmbjumbop="524288"
hw.igb.max_interrupt_rate="32000"
hw.ix.max_interrupt_rate="32000"
net.isr.maxthreads="-1"
net.isr.bindthreads="1"
net.pf.source_nodes_hashsize="1048576"

NOTE: hw.igb and hw.ix are specific to my NIC drivers, so you might have to tune these to your own NIC hardware.

@Zermus - Glad things are more stable now. I do think the I210 is a superior card / chipset compared to the CT, but did you ever try plugging the CT back in to see if the instability issues returned?

so not a cpu issue?

Zermus

Nope, well sorta. I just had to fine tune the hell out of the kernel to deal with the NTP traffic. I left the i210 in the box, but I'm guessing either card would have worked. Going on 90 days uptime now.

Here is what I ended up with on /boot/loader.conf.local

hw.igb.max_interrupt_rate="216000"
hw.ix.max_interrupt_rate="216000"
hw.igb.rxd=2048
hw.igb.txd=2048
hw.ix.rxd=2048
hw.ix.txd=2048
net.isr.maxthreads="-1"
net.isr.bindthreads="1"
net.pf.states_hashsize="2097152"
net.pf.source_nodes_hashsize="1421000"

have a 3200g system up and running with intel lan cards. so far so good,

Zermus

You should be fine with a standard amount of connections with default settings, like below 15,000. You're currently using 1,895. I average 100k-250k UDP connections every second, on top of my normal traffic around like 1-5k, which is why I needed to fine tune so much.
