      Yes it seems similar.
      I will monitor the memory usage and make sure to have a serial console connected in case it throws something.

      It has been running with 22.01 since shortly after the release of that version and we have several other 3100:s running 22.01 fine for weeks/months. (and 1100:s, 2100:s and 7100:s too)

        Is it running from SSD or eMMC?

        SSD failure can present like that. The drive will 'disappear' from the system meaning the system can no longer log anything. Some services will remain up as long as they do not have to read/write from the drive. Generally the system will keep passing traffic but over time services will fail and it will eventually stop responding. After power cycling the drive may return and everything appears normal but if that is the cause it will happen again and it's time to replace the drive.
        eMMC does not exhibit that behaviour. If it fails it will return.

          @stephenw10 It's running eMMC. No SSD in this one.
          Does the eMMC have any monitoring like SMART that I could look at perhaps?
          If the eMMC stops responding I would suppose it gives the same symptoms as an SSD not responding.

            There is no built in tool for that but you can use the mmc-utils package at the command line.
            Install it like so:

            22.01-RELEASE][admin@fw1.stevew.lan]/root: pkg install mmc-utils

                Don't see any obvious indications of problems in the output.

                One interesting thing though.
                WR_REL_SET seems be available. Since the 3100 can't do ZFS and semi-frequently goes into a bootloop after sudden powerlosses. Would'nt this be a good option to improve reliability?
                Maybe perfomance tanks with that enabled but the option to enable it would be nice.

                Regards Lars

                  Indeed, looks OK. Both the lifetime indicators show in the 20% used range. No problem I can see.

                  I run ramdisk on the 3100(s) I have here. That does mean you are limited running larger packages that require a lot of tmp space but I have yet to see a single file system issue on a system running them.

                    @stephenw10 Interesting, is there a possibility to move to ramdisk on existing systems or does it require reflashing?
                    We run no heavier packages on any of the 3100:s anyways.

                      It's just a checkbox, no need to reinstall.
                      https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-misc.html#ram-disk-settings

                      I usually run double the default values there, so 80MB and 120MB.

                      Because /tmp is moved to ram you lose the ability to get crash reports in the event of a crash.

                      On the up side drive writes to the eMMC are dramatically reduced. The system is also generally more responsive since eMMC is relatively slow.

                        @stephenw10 Nice, will do some testing and enable that before thunder season. :)

                        Thanks, Steve
