System Logs - OpenVPN

Netgate 4100
PFSense 23.09

Looking at the OpenVPN log file, I am seeing alot of 'Failed to get peer stats: No space left on device (errno=28)' - Does not one know how to resolve this , so it does not appear in the log file

I have done a search, and can not find anything

Generally this error means that the disk volume, where the process tried to write to, is full.
Maybe any heavy logging package filled up you /var/log?

The disks widget on the dashboard shows the used volumes. So you should check that at first.

same issue in 23.09.1-RELEASE

no disk space is full. Removed some logs ion /var/log to test

@tony_vi said in System Logs - OpenVPN:

no disk space is full.

You mean it's not full?

Are you using RAM disks?

[tony_vi]

@stephenw10

Disk is not full and not using RAM disks

[stephenw10]

OK so what error are you seeing exactly?

[tony_vi]

@stephenw10 same as OP

[stephenw10]

Are you using DCO? Do you still see that error if you disable DCO?

[tony_vi]

@stephenw10

Yes, we do use DCO. I will have to test with DCO disabled when the opportunity arises.

I cannot interrupt OpenVPN services, as this pfSense instance is vital for our work operations.

[stephenw10]

Ok, I'll wait to hear. This could be a confusing error caused by trying to access something that doesn't exist in DCO mode. Though I don't see that here on any instances so it would probably have to be some combination of settings.
