Aliases dosen't work(?)

[nivek1612]

Hi nivek,

Can you dump this output for me?

# df -h

I think you are using /var MFS through Nano image maybe?


Cheers,
Franco

Sorry Franco not back at home until mid week, hopefully Martins reply will suffice . I know we are using the same settings as i think I stole them from him originally :-)

Also like Martin
after reboot 'configctl filter refresh_aliases' just freezes when I run it. CTRL-C and run it again it says OK.

[franco]

Well, was it an install or Nano image, do you know?

[marjohn56]

mine was a serial image. 17.7. then bounced up.

[nivek1612]

I did a fresh install of a 18.1 vga image from European mirror on a new SSD

I then restored my config from 17.7.11

[franco]

Ok so a real install... that's a bit peculiar but let's see what a new round of testing does.

18.1-RC2 is coming out tomorrow so that won't be in there completely but 18.1 should be fine later.


Cheers,
Franco

Running RC2....

Confirm aliases are working.

Seems that an import of the config from my live device running 17.7.11 is not liked by the APU running 18.1-rc2, possibly because I use all the ports in a LAN bridge on the Qotom. It seems it gets all confused even if I have removed the bridge and extra ports.

Clean install and config took a while but it all works nicely, well done Franco and all.

[marjohn56]

Hold hard....

Did work until reboot then lost all the aliases.

Note, The aliastables folder is there. ZZZzzz time now, I'll check the contents of it tomorrow ( later today )!

Don't know if this will help. Here are the aliases bits from rules.debug from a 17 live machine and 18.1-rc2 - 17 first.

Hey,

I still need "df -h" output here...

There is one patch that helps with /var MFS but it's not on 18.1.r2: https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/6536510


Cheers,
Franco

[marjohn56]

Yes, I applied that patch before I rebooted.

OK, what I'll do after work is put the test unit back online and see what happens, I'll also get you the output you need.

[franco]

The first reboot won't work because that's when it creates the persistent directory

Please provide "df -h" output of that box to be sure we're not talking about different things.

[marjohn56]

Nuts, I thought it was just the aliastables folder...

OK, let me bring it online. Might be an hour and a half or so, depending on the London traffic.

[marjohn56]

Ok, got home quicker than expected, it's still blocking my aliases, here's the output you wanted/

root@gateway:~ # df -h

I miss London. ;(

Are you sure this is alias related and not https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=6891.0 ?


Cheers,
Franco

[marjohn56]

I don't miss London, I'd much rather be on a the beach in the Maldives.

So why does it affect only Aliases, if I manually enter a rule with the IP addresses it works?
