Cannot define table bogonsv6: Cannot allocate memory

[firewall]

Hello,

After upgrading to 21.1.9_1, the error previously discussed here seems to have returned: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=7879.0

My "Firewall Maximum Table Entries" is (and has long been) 2,500,000 so this appears an unlikely root cause.  Below is the specific error shown:

Code Select Expand

There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:132: cannot define table bogonsv6: Cannot allocate memory - The line in question reads [132]: table  persist file /usr/local/etc/bogonsv6

[Fright]

hi
can you try to update bogons? (Firewall: Diagnostics: Aliases)

Appreciative of the quick reply.  Are you sure that's the proper path to perform a bogons update?  I don't see an "Aliases" option beneath "Diagnostics".  Here as well, I'm not sure how to force an update of the "bogons" and "bogonsv6" definitions at "Firewall: Aliases".

However, I was able to change scheduled bogon updates from Monthly to Daily so I'll wait for that process to run.

oh. it was Firewall: Diagnostics: pfTables on 21.1.* )

Ah yes, pfTables option beneath "Diagnostics" gave me the option.  It's been a while since I ventured to the option; thanks!  I'll report back if the error continues after updating them.

Unfortunately the same error persists after updating bogons.

hm. any chance you really out of memory? what percentage of swap usage in System Information widget?

In any case updating it to 5,000,000 would rule that out. Address lists only ever increase in size, not the other way around.
