Hi,

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.

Problem 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

Production 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

Quote 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.

Ask your ISP to replace the ONT with a different/better/updated model ?!

https://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?

Nothing that I can find.

But in the link, comment 6, is stated:

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.


In comment 7 is stated:

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".

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 ...

Isn'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?
