26.7, 26.10 Series / Re: A bug in 26.7.9_1 with ali...
Last post by Greelan - Today at 07:51:24 AMI don't have a video, but same here on 26.7.9, every time and in any browser.
The rule page links to /ui/firewall/alias/index/<name>. The alias page then opens the editor by copying the first edit button in the grid and clicking the copy (alias.volt, the "Open form with alias selected" block).
26.7.9 changed the grid ("ui: delegate bootgrid cell handlers") so the click handler sits on the table cell, not on the button. The copied button isn't inside a cell, so clicking it does nothing.
Calling the grid's edit function directly fixes it for me. In place of the clone and click (the setTimeout can go too):

26.7, 26.10 Series / Re: /var/log to RAM disk
Last post by OPNenthu - Today at 07:27:35 AMQuote from: franco on <strong>Today</strong> at 07:11:34 AM4. It's not 2004 anymore and ZFS is much better than UFS ever was. The same goes for hardware like disks unless you still use a CF card.I think on-board eMMC is also still a thing with certain mini PC / router boxes, but at least one vendor I know of has started dropping that due to rising costs.

Last post by franco - Today at 07:12:52 AMCan someone make a video of this please. There have been some loosely related reports to the alias page behaving weird but not on your end.
Cheers,

26.7, 26.10 Series / Re: /var/log to RAM disk
Last post by franco - Today at 07:11:34 AMJust off the top of my head:
1. It tries to reduce disk writes which writing the disk negates.
2. Deferring the write to reboot can take a long time especially on slower disks where you don't want the writes either. People had issues with other backup facilities that did exactly the same thing in the past which are now all removed because they would block the box from rebooting.
3. A power loss still kills all your current logs.
4. It's not 2004 anymore and ZFS is much better than UFS ever was. The same goes for hardware like disks unless you still use a CF card.

Last post by franco - Today at 07:04:50 AMHi Fanski,
Ok, thanks for testing. I'll do an official call for testing patch today for everyone else with PPPoE who wants to try it.
Happy that it works for you again even if this wasn't directly intended (yet).

26.7, 26.10 Series / /var/log to RAM disk
Last post by waxhead - November 12, 2026, 11:40:37 PMHi,
Under system->settings->miscellaneous it is possible to select "use memory file system for /var/log"
the information says that if you use /var/log as a RAM disk the log data will be lost on a reboot.
Why? It sound trivial to rsync the memory based /var/log to physical disk on a scheduled reboot/shutdown and vice versa on boot.
Yes, data will still be lost on a crash / power outage , but for planned restarts I don't see why loosing log data would be necessary.

Last post by schasj - November 12, 2026, 10:41:34 PMQuote from: Boxer on November 06, 2026, 10:33:05 PMIf the menu isn't expanded then yes it disappears. Ckick the arrow next to the OPNsense logo at the top left to expand it. Is this what you mean?
Yes, I've only used the collapsed menus so I wasn't aware that the expanded works as expected. So my request stands but it only applies to collapsed menus.

Last post by oc - November 12, 2026, 10:23:33 PMThanks for reporting this, @Nullman. I noticed the same today (coincidentally, I have tweaked my aliases over the last few days, and I have updated to 26.7.9 yesterday, and to 26.7.9_1 today - so I observed something feels different).
It would be very practical if this was reverted to what worked previously.
Thanks :)

Last post by fanski - November 12, 2026, 10:14:17 PMQuote from: franco on November 12, 2026, 08:38:54 PMThe order of the patching is wrong though:
> 4. upgraded to 26.7.9
As soon as you upgrade the local patches get lost. The sequence is:
1. Update to 26.7.9.
2. run patch command once which does everything for you: # opnsense-patch 39cca4ca785
Yes, I didn't run the patch at all, I just did a dry-run to see the output (output was hunk 2 did not work in 26.7.1) and then did the upgrade and it directly worked but as I said, I did the same update yesterday and the result was different so I'm totally confused.
I installed the patch now and it still works.

Last post by Andreas1 - November 12, 2026, 09:09:00 PMQuote from: nero355 on November 10, 2026, 08:19:37 PMQuote from: Andreas1 on November 10, 2026, 05:55:04 PMNow I have the current version 26.7.8_2 and no migration assistent anymore.IIRC you don't even need it : Just Export and Import the Rules again and you are done ??
Deleting the old Rules can also be done via your config.xml I think ?
There was a similar topic a week ago : https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=53280.0
I tried it but it did not help. They are still marked as legacy rules. And most importantly the automatically generated rules are still in legacy and therefor aren't editable (cannot turn them off).
:(
