Hi,

I am running pfSense 2.0-RC1 (i386) as FW + LB. I saw a
weird behavior yesterday on the box, the webonfigurator was working and i
was able to add/change rules as well as load-balancing policies, but the
policies would not take effect, i.e. there was no change in the
traffic behavior although it showed that the configuration was in effect. I
tried to change the lb pool, redirect to different set of backend servers,
still no change. On digging further, i found 2 lines in "dmesg" ...

WARNING: / was not properly dismounted
WARNING: R/W mount of / denied.  Filesystem is not clean - run fsck

But, I was able to create and rm a file on the file-system. There was no
hard reboot of the server and it had an uptime of 45+ days.

1. Why should the filesystem become dirty... how do i prevent it?
2. Shouldn't the webconfigurator show warnings/errors if this happens?

I rebooted the FW box and things seem ok now.

ShiB.
