i mounted it in a temp folder, ls -lah says that there is nothing in zroot.

FreeBSD was able to mount it, but i can't find it.

ubuntu 24.04:
failed to mount "zroot"
filesystem type zfs_member not configured in kernel

i have a failed upgrade that won't finish booting.  i've tried to reinstall and import the config off the mirrored zfs array, but it can't seem to.  i can't seem to mount the zfs volume in another distro either.

is there any way to rescue the config?

[Interfaces > Settings]

I had this exact problem:

Updating the firmware did not fix it.

Here's what did work: In Interfaces > Settings, I set "VLAN Hardware Filtering" to "Leave Default"

I have FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p9 amd64 running and patched.
I have running stress on it without incident.

Any ideas on how I can instigate a crash?

Perhaps running dtrace on the OPNsense install?

...  Have you tried installing FreeBSD itself, or perhaps HardenedBSD to see if any of those two plain installation will crash the system as well?

I haven't, but I will. I'll reply with results.

Shall we move this topic to hardware then? ...

Sounds fine to me.

If the log doesn't report shutting down for a reboot, it crashes and boots. It's not rebooting.

You link to a Netgate page, is the hardware Netgate?

If it has replaceable memory, I would start there or run a memtest if you can.

• Yes, technically it is not rebooting. It runs and then suddenly without warning or error, BIOS is booting up the system again.
• I linked to the page as a reference on standard FreeBSD Troubleshooting of Unexpected Reboots (their phrase, not mine).  It is not NetGate hardware.  It's an ECS KBN-I2100 motherboard (see initial post for hardware details).
• I have run Memtest 86 for 19+ hours without error.  I have run all the stress/burnin tests I can find, all without error.

I can find nothing wrong other than the symptom of seemingly random and sudden booting.  Using it seems to hasten the booting, i.e., SSH, WebGUI, or network traffic.  I have done everything I can think to do to find the cause.

Is there any additional debugging or logging I can do?

Yea, nothing. 

I pulled all non-essential hardware out.
I replaced all the cables, inside and out.
I even swapped out the power supply and connected it to a UPS.

So that just leaves the RAM or the motherboard/CPU.
And it runs Linux & Windows fine...

Has anyone taken a look at the way FreeNAS installs to ZFS?

I have a fresh install of OPNsense 19.1.6-amd64 that is rebooting repeatedly. Using SSH or webGUI seems to increase the frequency of the reboots.  The system.log doesn't show any problems, it just stops whatever it was doing and then records the bootup. 
No plugins installed and minimally configured.

Is there a way to enable more verbose logging?
Is this hardware incompatible?

There is one extra update before 19.1. You should go to 18.7.10_4 and then to 19.1.

Yea, it was 18.7.10_4 and not _3.

I was able to "rescue" the system from inside the 19.1 installer by loading the on-disk config.  I couldn't find a way to make the live system permanent. So I backed up the config (from the GUI) and did a fresh install.  This went fine until the reboot where it died before boot menu where it couldn't find the kernel.

I reverted to 18.7, loaded my config (which works despite being saved from 19.1), and it's up and running fine now.

Maybe it's because it's an i386 cpu...

Not sure what to do next.

Have you selected the theme in System->Settings->General ?

No... I couldn't find it.  But now it works, thanks.

I have installed it on 18.1.6, but nothing changes:
