      1. Edit /etc/pSense-ddb.conf so it contains the different default line like:

      Hmmm, no such file found on this device. No idea why!

          Haha - should have spotted that.

          [23.09-BETA]/root: cat /etc/pfSense-ddb.conf
          # $FreeBSD$
          #
          #  This file is read when going to multi-user and its contents piped thru
          #  ``ddb'' to define debugging scripts.
          #
          # see ``man 4 ddb'' and ``man 8 ddb'' for details.
          #
          
          script lockinfo=show locks; show alllocks; show lockedvnods
          script pfs=bt ; show registers ; show pcpu ; run lockinfo ; acttrace ; ps ; alltrace
          
          # kdb.enter.panic       panic(9) was called.
          # script kdb.enter.default=textdump set; capture on; run pfs ; capture off; textdump dump; reset
          script kdb.enter.default=capture on; bt; show registers; show pcpu; capture off; dump; reset
          
          # kdb.enter.witness	witness(4) detected a locking error.
          script kdb.enter.witness=run lockinfo
          [23.09-BETA]/root: 
          

          Now, do I have a typo of my own?

            Looks fine to me. Reboot to apply it and then try a test panic.

              Wife watching Bake Off on catch-up; I would die a painful death.

              I'll be brave when she is elsewhere.

                  You can upload it here: https://nc.netgate.com/nextcloud/index.php/s/ywzFPM3F8GZnRdb

                  Or I can download it from somewhere if that's easier, just send me a link in chat.

                        TVM.
                        I just used the GUI to command the WAN connection down and up again to trigger the panic. Give me a shout if you need a repeat or a different method.

                          More can't hurt!

                          Are you able to get the backtrace from the console for that? Just to confirm it's the same crash. I'm pretty sure it is though.

                            I've since cleared the file and switched devices (to check that the qat_200xx revision was in place for the D-1736NT). It did look the same though.

                                That is a shame but understandable.

                                Hopefully this stupid mess is just for the short-term as it is hard to see why anyone testing could be expected to pay either a large sum of money, every year, or buy additional Netgate devices for testing purposes - especially if the end results are excluded from home or lab users.

                                I've got 11.5 months on my current pfSense+ licence so will continue to test, at least in the short term, so that Netgate can think this through. I accept though that many will dump any and all dev/beta testing out of principle, even if they don't run from pfSense.

                                      Optimism now dead.

                                      Current pfSense+ subscription that I use for dev/beta testing apparently dead too.

                                      Don't know what to say really.

                                        It should not be. Existing subs should still function until they expire at least. Are you no longer able to see pkgs?

                                        Also further updates may still happen here.

                                          I can see packages at the moment (I'm on 23.09-RC) but the notice about current users was only just announced:

                                          Please note that existing Home+Lab users who choose not to purchase a TAC Lite subscription will not receive updates when they are released.

                                          Presumably you guys will be pruning current subscriptions. Mine is dated 13 Oct 2023, no doubt easy to find and remove.

                                          Still don't know what to say really. I've invested time and money into this move to Netgate. I just didn't see this coming.
