Can we stop piling "I have the same issue" on a reporter that said he uses re0/ue0 and observes WAN link failures? How I know? Because we have a bug tracker.

I apologize. I will attempt to capture logs and go to github instead if my issue reappears

Log in via SSH and run "top" ...

At least in my case, my firewall does not respond to ssh or its web ui.

Rather it seems like it tries to but fails with a timeout eventually. Whatever my firewall is stuck doing seemingly clogs it up so hard i can't ssh into it.

If it happens to me again I will try to connect to it using serial.

I'm seeing the same issue on an OPNsense DEC740 since I updated to OPNsense 24.7.9_1-amd64, twice to be specific.

My device still responds to SNMP while this is going on so I can somewhat see what is happening. CPU usage goes to 100%, which makes the firewall fail at tasks like DNS or after a while, even DHCP leases. Interestingly SNMP also reports disk IO dropping to a flat zero while this is going on, even over a full hour.

It almost seems like OPNsense is loosing its storage device and goes bananas until it's rebooted. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get logs as I was using in-memory logging, so the logs were lost on reboot. But based on the fact that SNMP reports that no disk I/O is happening, I suspect the logs would not be written to disks anyways.

The load average is through the skies with 100% CPU usage, and the CPU usage is mostly "system". The later spike in "user" in the CPU graph is when my DHCP leases also stopped working. Attached screenshots from NMS.
