[SOLVED] dhcp6c - failed to add an address on igb1: File exists

Hopefully sometime can give me a tip to fix a little problem I have with IPv6.
Up until yesterday, I had IPv6 configured properly in OPNsense. My various VLANs were getting /64 networks, and all was good.
My ISP developed some IPv6 routing issues yesterday due to some router config changes at their end, and while they were fixing it I turned off IPv6 on the WAN interface (didn't touch the VLANs though).
Today I turned it back on. However, my VLANs are no longer getting /64s.
The WAN is happily getting an /128 address and /56 prefix. But dhcp6c says in the logs for each VLAN, for example: "failed to add an address on igb1: File exists".
Reloading IPv6 on the WAN does not fix it. Nor does restarting radvd. Nor does rebooting OPNsense.
Anyone got any tips for fixing this easily? Thanks.

Nevermind, it was my own stupidity - when I turned IPv6 back on for the WAN, the settings defaulted to a /64 prefix, rather than the /56 that my ISP provides. So OPNsense thought it had nothing to hand out to the VLANs. Fixed now!
