Pfsense system crash
-
I have an SSD here that continually throws CAM errors like that when pfSense is running from it. It has never actually failed during use but there's no way I would use it in any sort of critical role. It has failed to install before and I consider it dead.

@stephenw10 I have the same pfsense setup on a different SSD now. It is probably a better drive even though it's older (I think).
When the first drive stopped working the only log that showed CAM errors was on the monitor connected to the pfsense PC. After reboot I could not find the same info in pfsense logs anywhere. Would CAM errors show up in "Status/System Logs/System/General" in the web gui if the system was still running?

It's common to see drive errors like that on the console only because often logs cannot be written by that point.

@stephenw10 After replacing the SSD I have not seen any errors after 4 days of uptime, even with ntopng running, so problem was indeed the bad SSD.
Thank you so much for your help in troubleshooting my issue!
