pfSense lost all routes after disk full
-
Hey, due to an issue with log-rotation, the rootfs of my pfSense ran full without me noticing.
After an unsuspecting config change (edited a Firewall alias), all networking suddenly failed. I established a Serial Console connection to the machine, I noticed that my routing table is completely empty:# netstat -rWn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Use Mtu Netif Expire 127.0.0.1 link#15 UH 0 16384 lo0 Internet6: Destination Gateway Flags Use Mtu Netif Expire ::1 link#15 UH 0 16384 lo0 fe80::%lo0/64 link#15 U 0 16384 lo0 fe80::1%lo0 link#15 UHS 0 16384 lo0I've cleared space on the disk and rebooted several times. I also tried touching /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd6.leases after reading this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/5957
It didn't help. Interface configuration is still there and looks good. Is there any way to recover from this?
