At first we thought it was hardware issues, but after we reproduced it on 4 different firewalls, we realised it was more likely to be a problem with the Xenial kernel. We think we're running into something similar to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1579943 And Joel thinks the following patch might fix it: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=52bd2d62ce6758d811edcbd2256eb9ea7f6a56cb Unfortunately, even when we mimic live production traffic on the new firewalls with port mirroring, we only have a ~20% success rate at reproducing the kernel hang and I'm keen not to have any more failed migration attempts (and the corresponding downtime for many many services). == Fix == See http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~ogasawara/lp1579943/ == Testing == We've just successfully migrated four firewalls that are running with the patched kernel. Previously two of them would have survived for less than 2 minutes, both have now been running in production for over an hour. I'll provide another update tomorrow, however at this stage I'd suggest that it makes sense to get this into an SRU.
