Restoring backup config not working
-
I have tried this several times with no luck.
pfSense 2.2.1
did a backup of the config.
Did not include the RRD data.The box only had pfblockerng installed.
Replaced the hard drive.
Installed pfsense.
From the web interface I did a restore.
Selected to restore all.
The box reboots.
It gets to the configure firewall and it hangs.
This is where it hangs every time.
I tried to before and it hang.
Used the Gold subscription backup and restore and it hangs.I reinstalled the pfsense.
Installed pfblockerng.
Restored configuration.
Same problem, hangs in same place.Cant get it to move pass that point.
I waited for over 20 minutes but no luck.Started over.
only restored dhcp and openvpn and that worked.Its a bit concering that I can't get this to work.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong or how to make this work.
At this point I dont have a way to backup the box.

Just wait… it did not hang. It's waiting for timeout. 1 minute per pfBNG alias. ::)

Really?
It can that more then 20 minutes to get pass this section when you restore?
5 minutes to replace the hard drive.
5 minutes to reinstall pfsense.
20+ minutes waiting for time outs?Will try it again.

Yeah, really… these insane timeout values are a complete disaster. No idea why it's not been fixed yet.
