pfSense Plus 24.11-RC is here!

patient0

Upgraded from 24.11-BETA to 24.11-RC on my DEC740 and it worked well.

The cpu load when logged into the GUI and staying on the Dashboard when down quite a bit. Load average with not much going on on the network was around 1.1 to 1.3 with BETA and now on 0.6 to 0.8 and around 0.2/0.3 when moving away from the Dashboard to e.g. DHCP Leases.

Widgets in use: System Information, Disk, ZFS, Netgate Service And Support, Service Status, Gateways, Dynamic DNS Status, RSS, Firewall Logs (WAN, 5 last entries, refresh 15s), Wireguard, Interfaces, pfBlockerNG (but service disabled right now), Installed Packages.

Unbound service did not start on the first boot (wireguard peers down):

servicewatchdog_cron.php: The command '/usr/local/sbin/unbound -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf' returned exit code '1', the output was '[1731592260] unbound[47845:0] debug: module config: "python validator iterator" [1731592260] unbound[47845:0] error: Error for server-cert-file: /var/unbound/unbound_server.pem [1731592260] unbound[47845:0] error: Error in SSL_CTX use_certificate_chain_file crypto error:80000002:system library::No such file or directory [1731592260] unbound[47845:0] error: and additionally crypto error:10080002:BIO routines::system lib [1731592260] unbound[47845:0] error: and additionally crypto error:0A080002:SSL routines::system lib [1731592260] unbound[47845:0] fatal error: could not set up remote-control'

After capturing this log I manually rebooted and unbound started OK.

@dk4dk4 Using the service watchdog for unbound is a bad idea, though not as bad now with recent improvements. Still if you must use it, it's best to disable it for upgrades.

Are you using a RAM disk?

Hi,
Using Netgate 2100 (8gig emmc).
Found ongoing high cpu usage after running for a few days. (4.23, 2.84, 2.37).
Under system activity looks to be switching between high usage of unbound & sed journaling.

load averages: 2.90, 2.48, 2.35 up 2+16:43:37 09:40:52
254 threads: 5 running, 226 sleeping, 23 waiting
CPU: 59.9% user, 1.1% nice, 7.7% system, 4.3% interrupt, 27.0% idle
Mem: 82M Active, 352M Inact, 323M Wired, 2542M Free

Is this normal?

@applesalwaysred Make a post with the full output here:

@marcosm How to pull 'full output'?

marcosm

@applesalwaysred I mean the full output of the System Activity page when/where you saw the issue. Alternatively you may try running ps auxwwd while the issue occurs.

Only 9 more days, before they’ll have to call it pfSense Plus 24.12! How soon can we expect it?

@DominikHoffmann The oven is running and a release build is baking. Soon.
