XG-7100 / 21.05.2 upgrade / pcscd / C_WaitForSlotEvent messages
-
Hello,
I upgrade a XG-7100 to 21.05.2 (pfSense+) a couple of days ago. After the reboot I started to experience an issue where charon would log thousands (~8000) of messages per second as follows
- charon[39433]: 02[CFG] C_GetSlotInfo failed: SLOT_ID_INVALID
- charon[39433]: 02[CFG] error in C_WaitForSlotEvent: GENERAL_ERROR
I was able to reduce the number of message by setting the IPSec Logging controls - Configuration Backend to "Silent". A side of this was that charon was now consuming 100% of one CPU. Looking through the forums (and google searches), I discovered discussions regarding the pcscd issues (memory leak etc). I stopped IPSec, enabled pcscd, and started IPSec. The logging issue is now resolved, with everything seeming to be stable. I thought these issues were resolved in this release? Should this be reported as a bug?
Thanks.
