Title: Problem with shutdown/reboot as killing suricata gets stuck forever.
Post by: mrzaz on June 25, 2026, 09:31:09 AM
Hello,
I am running latest 26.1.10 under Unraid VM (QEMU) and a permanent issue that
when doing a reboot or shutdown it is getting stuck trying to kill Suricata forever.

root@OPNsense:~ # /usr/local/etc/rc.reboot
>>> Invoking stop script 'beep'
>>> Invoking stop script 'freebsd'
crowdsec_firewall is not running.
Stopping crowdsec.
Waiting for PIDS: 22448.
lldpd not running? (check /var/run/lldpd.pid).
qemu_guest_agent not running? (check /var/run/qemu-ga.pid).
snmpd not running? (check /var/run/net_snmpd.pid).
Stopping suricata.
Waiting for PIDS: 26425

I had it sit for several minutes but still stuck.

I then permanently killed it manually by issuing a separate "kill -9 26425" which then let shutdown to continue.

I have tried this several times at various times and get the same issue everytime. 100% failure.
I do have the "os-qemu-guest-agent" installed/running.

Does anyone else having same issue ?
Any idea of any workaround I could test ?
