Issue #2937 has been updated by Jim P.
• Status changed from New to Rejected
Not enough information here for a legitimate bug report. Please discuss it on 
the forum first and if an actual bug is discovered, then it can be addressed.


I'll be happy to give any further information but i've to know which one … i'll

That's not what he meant by a crash report.

he meant, in the GUI, after you experience a crash, it will offer to
submit the crash report to our servers automatically. We need the full
crash dump (panic message, backtrace, logs, etc) in order to have any
idea what happened. Without the crash report, we can't determine what
happened.

You said No crash log in the ticket, that crash log is the information
we need to diagnose the problem, that's what he was asking for, not a
bug report.

Hi,

Christophe Ségui christophe.se...@math.univ-toulouse.fr wrote:I'tried 
pfsense 2.1-BE5A1 as router/firewall (ospf is used for wan) and /22 network as 
internal network. With PF activated, the node crash after 2 hours up …  since 
pf is deactivated, node stays up (routing functionnalities are OK). Does 
someone experienced the same issue ?Here we are using 2.1BETA1 for a long time 
in production.

What we've learnt is that from one day to the other, fixes are incorporated, 
but sometimes fixes break something else, so while we used to upgrade everyday 
to benefit from the latest fixes, we now stay with a version which mostly 
works for us : 2.1-BETA1   (amd64) 

built on Thu Feb 28 04:29:38 EST 2013

Since we're running a two nodes cluster, testing a new release is easy but 
takes time : upgrade the slave, shutdown the master, see if all works as 
expected. If not, restore the full backup, else upgrade the master as well. But 
this can be very very time consuming especially due to pfSense's full backup 
(when upgrading from the GUI) which saves, slowly, almost everything including 
Squid's cache content.

We're still stuck with some minor problems but this version doesn't crash at 
least... We've got planned downtime tomorrow, and planned to try an upgrade, 
but reading your message I think we'll wait a bit more :-)

So my advice to you would be to try daily upgrades until you'll find one that 
works, and stay with it until a BETA2 or an RC is published.

bye

 There are thousands of people running it in production with no issue,
 not a general problem. Define crash, does it actually kernel panic
 and reboot? Or just stop accepting new connections? The latter, you're
 likely running out of states.

kernel panic. hard reboot needed.(

Hi,

Yes, sounds like a good way to test new relaese in production. Unfortunately, 
we use a single node here :/ 

thanks anyway
