Last post by sy - June 21, 2026, 10:50:28 PMHi,
Sorry to hear that. Please share the repo conf file. Run the commands "cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/sunnyValley.conf" and "pkg update -f", then share the output.

Last post by stumper - June 21, 2026, 10:19:38 PMProblem solved - turned out to be an electrical issue and not equipment or configuration related. Moved the cable modem and firewall appliance to a different outlet and everything working again. Contacted an electrician to investigate and fix.
Thank you all for the input and suggestions

Last post by Patrick M. Hausen - June 21, 2026, 06:58:55 PMProduction is not working because FreeBSD is not supported in Hyper-V. Only Microsoft can change that. Standard seems to have the issues you describe - again IMHO only MS can change that.
You could shutdown the VM at night, take a snapshot, boot up again.
Or schedule configuration backups to Nextcloud, git, SFTP, ... your choice really. And not rely on VM snapshots for backup.
Also there is a perfectly capable snapshot mechanism within OPNsense if you install with ZFS. So if I was to insist running an u supported guest OS in my hypervisor I would at least not plan with any of the advancec hypervisor mechanisms like snapshots to be working but use different means.
HTH,
Patrick

Last post by tverweij - June 21, 2026, 06:42:27 PMQuote from: tverweij on June 21, 2026, 06:33:53 PMI use production - needed for backup.
But I also tried Standard - just made a standard snapshot by hand and removed it again.
Both production as standard snapshot causes the errors to be displayed in the OpnSense VM.
No difference that I can see.
Wait a minute.
I just disabled the option "Create standard checkpoints if the guest does not support creation of production checkpoints".
And now it can not create a checkpoint anymore.
This means Standard checkpoints are used - Production checkpoints are somehow not supported by the OpnSense VM.

I have no idea what to check next, and I highly doubt the ISP is going to be willing to help much. Thanks again for all the help already.Ask your ISP to replace the ONT with a different/better/updated model ?!

Last post by wirehire - June 21, 2026, 05:19:11 PMhttps://nginx.org/en/security_advisories.html
the nginx comes from freebsd upstream ? because last time , its was long delayed , when it comes to the opnsense repo.
How can we update a critical ( nginx) only wait or can we force update from freebsd?

Last post by tverweij - June 21, 2026, 04:42:43 PMNothing that I can find.
But in the link, comment 6, is stated:
In comment 7 is stated:
The problem is in comment 7: at some point there is a SCSI Status Error during a WRITE operation and PFSense/FreeBSD will become locked up or partially working but eventually will not respond to network or UI requests.
I hope the solution in comment 6: I have only one VM with GEN2 and ZFS. This VM has no SCSI Errors during the snapshot.
So, I am going to test this, and see what that brings - but in the past, I had other problems using ZFS ...

Hi, i have 120 PFSense VMs from 2.3.4 to 2.4.4-2 all Hyperv VMs with GEN2 and UFS.
and some vms with Hyperv GEN2 and UFS. All this VM has the same issue.
I have only one VM with GEN2 and ZFS. This VM has no SCSI Errors during the snapshot.

I am having this problem with PFSense (2.4.4-RELEASE-p3) running on Hyper-V (Windows 2012 R2). In my case, replication might run fine for a while (hours, days) but at some point there is a SCSI Status Error during a WRITE operation and PFSense/FreeBSD will become locked up or partially working but eventually will not respond to network or UI requests. I would love a resolution to this. For the moment, I've disabled replication and it's been fine.
Perhaps useful, perhaps not: I've been running PFSense for years as a replicating VM on Hyper-V W2K2012R2 without issues. It was just this week when I started having problems. PFSense was previously running many different versions (2.2, 2.3, 2.4.3). When I started having problems this week I had not upgraded PFSsense or the hypervisor. As far as I can tell "nothing changed".

Last post by Patrick M. Hausen - June 21, 2026, 03:55:29 PMIsn't there an option to "quiesce" the guest file system or not when creating the snapshot. Can you try not to stop I/O during snapshot creation?
