There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: DIOCADDRULENV: Device busy

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....
-
Mmm, OK nothing obvious there. I'm going to consult developers on this.
-
Ok, the likely cause here is a race condition between filter reloads triggered close to simultaneously.
That obviously shouldn't happen but you can probably mitigate it by tuning your gateway parameters for the WG_VPN_HQ gateway. Currently that is continually throwing alarms and reloading the filter every time it does. I suspect when you see this error it ends up thowing several alarms and queing up reloads.
I would try either setting the monitoring values to far higher numbers, say 50% and 500ms, or disabling monitoring action on the gateway. If that prevents or reduces the errors you're seeing that would prove the theory.

@stephenw10 From a troubleshooting standpoint, it makes sense since these overseas vpn can have spotty connection from time to time. I already made those adjustments... waiting to see what happened :D Thanks @stephenw10 much appreciated!
