Zenarmor (Sensei) / Zenarmor causes long outages with native netmap driver
« on: August 25, 2023, 11:42:51 pm »
Hi,
Since some month I noticed that my OPNsense needs a long time until all services are fully up after a complete reboot (up to 10 minutes).
The other day I noticed the same behaviour when I restart the Zenarmor engine.
Today I found some time to digging into this.
When I restart the Zenarmor engine several services like Unbound and NTP stop and start several times immediatly after Zenarmor is up again.
The log shows a lot of the following errors for this range of time:
/usr/local/etc/rc.linkup: dhcpd_dhcp4_configure() found no suitable IPv4 address on INTERFACE_NAME
When all calmed down, everything works fine.
I played arround and found out, that this issue is solved as soon as I choose the emulated netmap driver for Zenarmor.
The interfaces of my system are all Intel I211.
Is this an expected behaviour when the hardware/driver doesn't support the native netmap driver? Or did I configured something wrong?
