22.7 Legacy Series / Re: Firewall Frequently Locking Up, Requiring Hard Reboot

That would explain it. Maybe not all hardware is affected like this... would be best to keep track of traces separately for each machine. Maybe the other two have a single panic to trace.


Cheers,

It was the same RAM modules in all three of them in this case as I just swapped them into each box, but you are right that keeping track of which machine generated which trace is a good idea in the future. Though hopefully with new RAM it won't be necessary...

I figured it out - bad RAM. It tested fine on the first device but just to be sure I tested it again... this time it threw so many errors memtest86 couldn't even complete a full pass.

D'oh.

Another one... odd if it were hardware issues across three separate sets of hardware, but maybe I'm just extraordinarily unlucky this time. I'll try swapping out the RAM and/or SSD and see if either of those resolves it.

Another set of hardware, this time some different things are crashing. Luckily so far, the services have recovered on their own and none have required a hard power cycle.
Got this crash dump most recently.

So that's a fairly new chipset.  Even Intel itself only has windows drivers:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/210599/intel-ethernet-controller-i226v/downloads.html

So if BSD does support them, it's on it's own within the kernel.  I would question this greatly.

Question what? BSD 13 has the igc driver for the I226.

Hopefully I'm not spreading fud but didn't the I226-V NIC's have stability issues with FreeBSD?

I'm not aware of anything BSD-specific, but then I don't exactly follow networking development in BSD... I know the I225's first two revisions had issues in general, and have seen some reports, albeit far lesser in number, about the third revision, too, but nothing I226-specific so far.

Nope... had another crash dump not too long ago. At least this time it didn't freeze entirely and require a power cycle...

Spoke too soon - another freeze and this time it didn't output any video again. Reseated everything and verified temps all look okay.

I tried to see if 22.1 would have the issue, but the new hardware has Intel I226-V NICs and 22.1 would not detect them, so I just did a fresh re-install of 22.7, re-installed plugins, restored config, and updated to latest again. We'll see if that helps at all...

Well, I got the new box set up. This one actually still outputs via the HDMI port when it crashes, so I could finally figure out it was an SSD issue... seems like from time to time the SSD disappears and the system boots into the UEFI shell. If the SSD is overheating, could that explain the odd kernel panics from pfctl as well?

Have you swapped hardware yet?

Not yet, new box gets here in a couple days. Just figured I'd keep posting/submitting the dumps in the meantime just in case it is a software issue.

Another crash dump for pfctl... seems to be most consistently the thing causing the kernel panics.

Past few days have just had random crashing still... seems like it might just be that these changwang PCs are unreliable. I decided to try a Qotom box instead, so I'll transfer config to that when it gets here and we'll see.

Given the change in behavior, this is feeling more like potentially a hardware issue, but it's still not remotely clear.

To rule that out, are you able to go back to 22.1 and test?

Otherwise potentially check CPU temps, or setup alerts.
You could also, just for good measure, run a memtest on the box?

Historically, for me, it's rarely been memory issues however it WAS 1 out of the 99 times.  And that 1 time, drove me nuts in troubleshooting before I discovered the issue

I can try a live disk of 22.1 to see, but I made some tweaks and it was running stable again so I turned IDS/IPS back on and it almost immediately locked up with no crash dump, same as before. Turned it back off and so far so good, but it's only been a couple of hours.
