Hi,

on 25.7.2 and 25.7.3 I have 3 warning/error logs.

Warnings:
/usr/local/sbin/pluginctl: warning: ignoring missing default tunable request: hw.ibrs_disable
/usr/local/sbin/pluginctl: warning: ignoring missing default tunable request: vm.pmap.pti

I think I saw on forum that there is some change in values in 25.7, but no defaults set. Can I fix it somehow or can be fixed in some newer version?

error:
/usr/local/etc/rc.bootup: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnsmasq stop' returned exit code '1', the output was 'dnsmasq not running? (check /var/run/dnsmasq.pid).'

With 25.7 I've switched to dnsmasq for DHCP only. DNS is disabled.

Everything seems working fine, just want get away with such errors if not serious.

thx

This is intended. You can safely remove both entries from System: Settings: Tunables.

Context: we've since moved away from adding default tunables into config.xml because their values have been static or implied. At some point we built a generic framework for enforcing tunable defaults and it works without entries in config.xml (in their absence). The tunables in the config.xml have an implied default, but when the default should no longer be enforced and it is still in config.xml you see this warning.

True, that's https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/8888 and has no real world impact other than annoying us developers but we will get to it :)
