2.2 upgrade- Do we really need 200 sysctl's running for thermal sensor widget?
-
I did a fresh install for someone else who has the exact same server (I got two when I purchased), but did the install on my server (removed my hhd and installed his). I loaded from scratch 2.2, smashed next for wizard, enabled cpu temp in advanced, and added widget, worked. Loaded his config from 2.1.2 which added all of his packages and settings back, etc, widget froze just like on my configuration (which is nearly identical). Its a software/configuration issue. I didn't go through all of the packages and uninstall/reinstall them to see if it was a package. However, I did remove pfBlocker and added pfBlockerNG, no change to widget functionality (still locks up pfSense webConfigurator). Also, the reset webConfigurator option from console does not make the webConfigurator accessible, have to reboot entire system.
I have the following packages installed on both servers (latest version of each):
bandwidthd
File Manager
Filer
LCDproc
Notes
OpenVPN Client Export Utility
pfBlockerNG
RRD Summary
Service Watchdog

I concur. I too have found on a new system, and transferring the SSD from it to mine that a fresh install works.
On my existing config I had uninstalled all packages prior to the upgrade, and removed all widgets except the default
system info. It still caused breakage.What I haven't been able to do yet, is diff the filesystems to see if something didn't upgrade right (I did confirm the kernel, and sysctl md5 hash). Or to selectively try restoring parts of my config over a new working one.
That part is annoying, as I just did a fresh start over for 2.1.? since my original config was from an early 1.something.
I never even got the chance to finish porting over the config. Figures. -
I'm not sure it was the upgrade process. Since after loading a 2.1.2 config into 2.2 fresh install borks it as well. Now, it could be that the config for 2.1.2 is not compatible with 2.2 in someway. Any insight on this?
Also wondering if a config reset of 2.2 upgraded from 2.1.2 would bring back a functional widget. May just have to reset everything back up manually? :'(
-
It's a pretty low-level failure, the root cause being that 'sysctl -a' hangs. I can't imagine what could be in the config, or even installed for that matter, which would impact that. Redoing the config from scratch, if you end up with the same resulting configuration, almost certainly won't do anything differently and likely isn't worth the time relative to other things that are more likely to narrow down the cause.
See if you can bisect to narrow down where the issue starts. First restore your config with no packages at all. If that works, restore it with half the packages. If that works, restore it with all the packages. That should help to narrow down the specific part of the config that's an issue.

Run "kldstat" and "ps xuawww" when it's in the problem state and post the results here.
That would almost have to be a BIOS or kernel module interaction stopping there.

and Thank you Jimp.
You lead me to the solution/workaround.
Notice idlepoll eating 100% of one cpu. I turned off device polling in advanced -> networking, the moment I hit save, sysctl finished.
I ran it again, and got the full sysctl output as expected.I turned device polling back on, reran the test. and it hung up like previously. the moment I turned it off / hit save. it spit out the remaining info.
So the problem is something related to device polling.
ps after turning it off, notice /usr/local/bin/php -f /usr/local/sbin/prefixes.php/usr/local/bin/php -f /usr/local/sbin/prefixes.php stopped eatting 80% cpu as well, which seemed to be running solid until I turned off device polling, though without more testing, that could be a coincidence?!

I turned device polling back on, reran the test. and it hung up like previously. the moment I turned it off / hit save. it spit out the remaining info.
So the problem is something related to device polling.This thing is still there in the GUI? :o ??? Consider yourself lucky that the box was still accessible. :D My experience: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=65302.0

Ah, yes, polling. Yuck.
It's a horrible option for many people but there are still rare occasions when not only does it work, it can perform better. Usually better to keep it off though.

I can confirm that turning off device polling fixed it, thermal widget workes as expected now. Explains why loading a config showed the issue, device polling is off be default, config kept turning it back on.
Also a positive, my CPU would hover idle right around 13-15% load, all the time when device polling was on. It is now idle at 0% with device polling off.
Weird though, device polling didn't have an issue running in 2.1.x…
