I would bet my money on an unstable disk.  Why would so many random things occur to you that relate to data loss?

But not on a clean boot where files were already established.  Besides, this comment/workaround was introduced a decade ago:

There are however a few popular youtube videos pushing that scenario, which I disapprove ;) .

cleaned everything related to zenarmor, package and ini. still lost in the single boot shell.

which lead me to this one:
"There seems to be a race with unpacking files and including them below. So an explicit exec() is used to force a sync to make sure the files have their new content ready on the FS."

unfortuantly it seems this workaround does not apply to OPNsense\Core\Backend

Meyergru is pretty spot on with this.

My best you can do solution here at home is to never connect the "Smart" TV itself to my network.  Instead, I have an AppleTV4K and a Chromecast connected to my big family TV.  The AppleTV4K does everything (and more) better than the TV's native apps.  The Chromecast allows for the simple streaming from one device to another.

I have zero trust in any of the smart TV's native operating systems nor the apps that run on them.

Quote from: bimbar on Today at 02:18:45 PMI might add that usage as transparent filtering bridge is a niche application and not generally well supported or documented.

Yes, I am discovering that to be true

Stop being dramatic about it and start being pragmatic:

System: Configuration: Defaults: Components: select "NetFlow configuration" -> Reset.

There was also this a few weeks ago already:

The catch is the auto-generated anti-lockout rules get assigned to the LAN interface when you first set up OPNsense. Changing them afterwards isn't straight forward.

I've yet to refine the configuration process to avoid the 'Start Initial Configuration' page with this method. If you receive this page when you log in to the WebGUI, ignore it as proceeding with it will break your configuration.

it's shocking to me that i'm the only one experiencing this samplicate issue. it's still pegging my cpu. my box literally runs 1 core at 99 to 100% 24/7. at times the temp hits 85C. this cpu is known for running hot so I haven't been too worried. i just find it interesting the bug that I am experiencing. the minute I try to stop the samplicate service I get a kernel panic and reboot loop. when I remove the WAN interface from netflow reporting and remove the 2 localhost destinations it goes into a boot loop and I can't figure out why. so, what I have is a machine that's constantly sending data to 127.0.0.1:2055 and :2056 with nothing capturing it. I just can't remove them or my machine goes into a boot loop and I can't figure out why because by the time I ssh into the box to troubleshoot it, it'll just reboot again.

Imore, that worked!  Thank you.
I think the key was putting the MGMT on a different network.
