There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: DIOCADDRULENV: Device busy
-
FYI
This week I just hit a similar issue where the PF machine ( Netgate pfSense Plus 23.09-RELEASE (amd64) ) was no longer smoothly pushing packets through and there was significant packet loss. After logging into webgui the notifications greeted with the following (date and time removed):pf_busy
PF was wedged/busy and has been reset. @ -DATE TIME- PF was wedged/busy and has been reset. @ -DATE TIME-Filter Reload
There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: DIOCADDRULENV: Device busy - The line in question reads [0]: @ -DATE TIME- There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: DIOCADDRULENV: Device busy - The line in question reads [0]: @ -DATE TIME- There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: SIOCGIFGROUP: Device not configured - The line in question reads [0]: @ -DATE TIME-The machine was rebooted and appears to functioning normal again.
When I have the time I will try to pull and review logs.

@stephenw10 Would be great if you could take a look at this, its happening quite consistently now
-
Still the 6100 running 23.09.1?
If you manually reload the ruleset in Status > Filter Reload does that trigger it?
-
@stephenw10 Yes sir, the 6100 running 23.09.1. Here is the output from the Filter Reload, it did not trigger any notices.

Hmm, is there any sort of pattern to when it happens? When it's passing most traffic perhaps?
Is there anything else logged at the time?
-
@stephenw10 I have 3 locations. 3 6100, 2 of them are nearly identical configuration, most of the same components on the LAN. The 6100 that is throwing off these errors was replaced due to hardware at one time and so the config was restored. It's also the least configured of the 3 in terms of rules. I really wish I could give you more details but that location is pretty quiet..
-
@stephenw10 I forgot to mention that I have Tac Pro on this device, I plan to open a ticket
-
Yes, open a ticket if you haven't already. Link to this thread so TAC have the details here.
-
Just to be clear when this happens it just logs that and continues? It doesn't require manual intervention?
-
@stephenw10 It's crashed and I had to hire someone to go onsite and manually power cycle it
-
I assume not every time that error is shown though?
-
@stephenw10 No, just 2x
-
Hmm, OK. 2x too many!
Do you know if it remains responsive at the console when that happens?
-
@stephenw10 I wish I could say, but its a remote location and has only acted this way when I'm not on site... last time was 24 hours after I left...frustrating
-
Are you able to upload a status file to us to review?
-
@stephenw10 of course, pls tell me what to do =)
-
Great, you can pull the status_output file from the GUI. See:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/diagnostic-data.html#view-and-download-diagnostic-data-in-the-guiThen upload it here:
https://nc.netgate.com/nextcloud/s/YfciQktBin7fLEM -
@stephenw10 All done sir
-
Great I see that. Checking....
