      Hi,

      today i had a strange issue on a SSD re-installed pfSense 2.0.1.

      First of all these packages were installed and it was a new install with restore from a backup config.xml via the web interface:

      1. squid
      2. squidguard
      3. havp antivirus
      4. openvpn client exporter

      I configured everything in firewall, openvpn, squid, squidguard, 2 opt interfaces, ipsec tunnels and much more. Everything worked fine. I realized that i have forgotten to set the periodic connection reset on the wan interface. I configured it to reset at 00:00 o clock every day an after a click on save, the wan interface reconnects and the Webinterface did a lag, or reset of the lan interface too… I dont know.

      After that i was back on the Webinterface, but at a configuration point 30 or 45 minutes ago! nearly at the first config restore point.

      Did anybody have a clue what issue that could be? Failed SSD?

      Thanks in advance

      Updated typo: periodic reset on wan interface

          What does Diag>Backup/restore, Config history tab look like? Anything in the system log?

          @ccb056:

          No it won't. If you're getting anywhere near the stated write limits on a SSD, it'll take several years at least running a full install.

          If you want to be on the safe side, only use nanobsd on SSD.

            I have an image of this installation, so i can take a look into the log files later today. We changed the ssd to be secure.

              Due to the system log 500 kbyte limit and there was one reboot so there is nothing in the logs anymore. The config history has nothing stored before the issue. I think it is too late for troubleshooting. Next time i will check these things asap. Thanks anyway!
