Title: Theory on kernel panics
Post by: tuaris on June 21, 2019, 01:48:27 am

I've posted a few times in the past about my setup suffering from random kernel panics. 

In an effort to try and troubleshoot I temporarily switched my main firewall/router to t1n1wall and discovered that the SNMP process has a memory leak. 

Code: [Select]

root 103   0.0 60.7 1252832 1250388  -  S     6Jun19    19:48.53 /usr/local/sbin/snmpd -c /var/etc/snmpd.conf -p /var/run/snmpd.pid
I have yet to test it, but my theory is that it's possible that the same thing is happening in OPNsense.

A memory leak of a user space process cannot be an issue. It may never raise a kernel panic.
