pfSense 2.6 problem with zombie processes

gofaizen

@stephenw10
I have installed pfSense 2.5 from ISO on virtual machine in oVirt 4.4.5, then I have upgraded it to 2.6 from WEB interface. Then I added qemu-guest agent using this instruction - https://forum.netgate.com/topic/162083/pfsense-vm-on-proxmox-qemu-agent-installation
And got the problem, described above.

I want to try fresh installation pfSense 2.6 and test qemu-guest-agent.

In fresh installation of pfSense 2.6 same result

Hmm, struggling to replicate this in Proxmox.
Using the linked instructions the guest-agent starts and gives me IP information only.

Using the additional flags -b guest-get-fsinfo -D it fails to start at all.

I will say this is unsupported/untested. It's unlikely to see any developer time.

It returns correctly when run manually though:

root@pve:~# qm agent 110 get-fsinfo
[
   {
      "disk" : [],
      "mountpoint" : "/var/run",
      "name" : "tmpfs",
      "total-bytes" : 4194304,
      "type" : "tmpfs",
      "used-bytes" : 118784
   },
   {
      "disk" : [],
      "mountpoint" : "/",
      "name" : "/dev/mirror/pfSenseMirrors1a",
      "total-bytes" : 7259652096,
      "type" : "ufs",
      "used-bytes" : 1825689600
   }
]

Do you not see that?

....but that does seem to create zombie processes each time each run. OK.

Ok, this actually looks like a known issue that is still open for some reason:
https://github.com/aborche/qemu-guest-agent/issues/17

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260023

Waiting to be fixed upstream.

Option -D for qemu-ga is to produce config only.
With this option qemu-ga shows config and quits.

@stephenw10
I don't understand - why qemu-ga in FreeBSD shows me everything in oVirt engine interface and pfSense shows only some information ?
They have identical config.

stephenw10

Mmm, the same port version though? 5.0.1?

From what I can see that fix should be in 5.0.1_1 and that hasn't arrived in FreeBSD yet.

How are you querying the agent?
