Pfsense high cpu usage KVM (Unraid)
-
Hmm, well that's certainly very high. Does it show that CPU usage in pfSense?
Does it make any difference what two NICs you have? Like one pass though and one internal? Or both internal?
-
@stephenw10 weirdly enough, if I add any virtual NIC to pfSense, then I get spam message says "interrupt storm detected", and cpu usage goes to 30% when idling.
By the way I have other routers in the same network for easy access without changing network ip address.
I'm done fiddling around pfSense and break my home network every night, for now.
If I encounter something weird the next time I'll post full detail and ask you for help. Thanks so much for replying over and over! -
No problem. There's certainly something odd happening there. Many of us here run pfSense in Proxmox in all sorts of exotic configurations and see no significant issues, that's also KVM.

I should mention a thing:
because I have problem, so I upgrade unraid to 6.8.0rc, which qemu version is Q35-4.1, not the usual Q35-3.1 that unraid 6.7.2 has.
It's either Q35-4.1 or unraid 6.8.0rc could not pick up the NICs, too bad that I just send the i350-T4 back to the shop, no way to try the better NIC out. -
That's odd. i350 is very widely used. Unless it was one of the many fake Intel cards that are about...
