You have now basically told me NOTHING...

I was not talking to you.

- Provide a link to the specific sub-forum or topic there.
- Specify what is going on exactly and what I will read there in short.

Then I might actually take the effort to do so ;)



FYI :
I think I have read enough in the past about their Omada stuff and some regular Routers/Switches/Accesspoints to know if it's a good or bad brand, but feel free to proof me wrong! :)

No.

So I think I found the culprit:

These results are quite confusing. S.M.A.R.T parameters are clearly indicating that SSD is pretty much dead. Confusing part is the fact that machine still crashed running Debian live. This indicates another issue beside dead drive.

Thanks.

yeah I have an automatic backup running every sunday into my google drive.

I took a 2-3 week backup, and it did restore the FW rule... the last week backup didn't worked? I ffind this strange... xD I don't always update OPNsense every week, ro so, but I'll give a shot updating right now in case of...

as for my flash storage, Smart is good.

I was wondering if anyone already had an issue like this. It's the first time it gets wierd... the migration as such a success when I did it haha!

Stay away from TP-Link garbage !!!! Check level-1 tech forums if you want to see why.

I remembered this topic yesterday while updating to OPNsense 26.1.9 with Pale Moon 34.3.0 from Windows because the update log did not autoscroll :)

It looked very weird and I thought some kind of freeze or mirror issue was going on but no :
- You see the start of it all with a couple of lines.
- And then if you wait long enough for everything to finish you suddenly see the end of the logging and the Reboot kicks in !!

General Discussion / Re: WAN Failover Gateway

Last post by viragomann - Today at 05:47:14 PM

but when I go into my LAN interface to change It to the new gateway group

Did you turn the only one allow-any-to-any rule into a policy routing rule?
If so, this will force any traffic to the stated gateway.

You have to ensure that the policy routing rule is only applied to upstream traffic.
To do this, you can add an additional pass rule for internal destinations only to the top of the rule set.

The problem has been solved. debian.org and wikipedia.org are redirecting to www.debian.org and www.wikipedia.org. You have to these host as well, than it is working.
The intermittent problem appears to be a browser cache problem.
With Curl you can see the error and no intermittent problem does not exists.

The memtest was fine

I am a fan of 24 hour tests, but OK :)

So I think I found the culprit:


Well I guess it was the SSD all along. I didn't think a system drive failing would have such symptoms.

Told you! :)

It seems to be one of those models that I call "Fake Intel SSD" : https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ssdsc2bw180h6&ia=web
No wonder it failed despite being a MLC model : They had no additional spare space like the Intel Enterprise models had at the time :)
_{(Don't get me started on everything else that's wrong with them... LOL!)}

Sadly the story didn't end here:

* I tried to clone the drive onto a new drive which took way to long and didn't work at the end. The OS booted but couldn't find some files (don't ask me what exactly).

That's to be expected : Defect drives are very often impossible to clone!

* So I took another road: Backup opnsense via UI and import in a freshly installed version. Should be straightforward, right? Wrong

I am surprised you got that far considering the issues!
You would also risk having a corrupt config.xml that way IMO.

* Today I learned ISC DCHP is so hard deprecated that it is not even backed up when you create a backup.
It backups the config values but does not backup (now a plugin) ISC from what I could tell.

If you are talking about 'Static DHCP Mappings based on the MAC Address' then you need to Export those into .CSV files via the webGUI and Import them into KEA or DNSmasqd ;)

* Now everything is working as before and I hope the device survives longer this time

What's the storage this time ?

The problem appers to be working temporary and then it re appears.
I deleted the post, because I tried after a reload of the alias and it worked.
Now about 10 minutes later the problem appears again.

I also added 1.1.1.1 to the allow list, and IPaddresses are working all the time.

I get a connection refused, message when I try it now.

always download your configuration.

I do this always after each upgrade and also add it to the name of the config.xml file :)

For example :

Code Select Expand

config-OPNsense-20260605010156_After_26.1.9_Upgrade.xml
And the same file exists on both a PC and a Laptop just in case something weird happens...
