netgraph change: will https://github.com/aus/pfatt need adjustment?

<< < (2/3) > >>

pvols1979:
I will also contact the GitHub user who wrote the original pfatt code and let them know of the change.

harshw:
Checked the PFATT script again and only the following modules are needed

* netgraph
* ng_ether
* ng_eiface
* ng_one2many
* ng_vlan
* ng_etf
I will try to prune the /boot/loader.conf.local file to the following and check if it still works:


--- Code: ---netgraph_load="YES"
ng_ether_load="YES"
ng_eiface_load="YES"
ng_one2many_load="YES"
ng_vlan_load="YES"
ng_etf_load="YES"

--- End code ---

Don't want to load modules unnecessarily if we don't need them ...

franco:
Yes, good thinking. That's why we opted for removing most of netgraph from the system, although some PPP and NetFlow still need it but load it on demand.


Cheers,
Franco

I modified loader.conf.local and rebooted - after which I proceeded to do the upgrade.
So far it seems to be working ... everything came up as expected

cwied:
99-pfatt.sh already has a line to load ng_etf, so it might make sense to just load all the other modules there too. The script uses -nq so it won't complain if they're already loaded.

Thanks for this thread. I noticed that the script would work if I invoked it by hand, but didn't know what had changed to break it during boot.
