Cannot 'stop' flowd_aggregate -- Delays boot/reboot significantly

[RickNY]

This has been a problem.. Was doing this in 20.1 as well, a couple of people posted (including me) about how to resolve it and received no responses.  I have NetFlow turned off.. With NetFlow off, the firewall hangs up on reboot with the following when shutting down for at least a minute:
Cannot 'stop' flowd_aggregate. Set flowd_aggregate_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestop' instead of 'stop'.


How do I resolve this when not using NetFlow?

Netflow is likely not your problem, if flowd_aggregate_enable is set to "NO" it wasn't started in the first place.
You can easily check if the aggregator has an issue by checking the local process list "ps fax | grep flowd_aggregate" on a console.

I expect our rc.d cleanup doesn't check if the service is actually used, which means it would tell it can't stop it when not configured, usually not something to worry about.
