pfSense

See my previous comment. That is most likely a problem with your installation, not a bug in the snapshots. Main suspect is your storage (SSD/HDD/etc) or a corrupt filesystem, errors are likely from a missing/corrupt config.xml among other problems.

Jim,

I did a new install using the today 650 snapshot, since the update had failed.
Then I installed the config from earlier today, -- not good ---.
One of the issues the packages, did not reinstall automaticly
When I tryed to do it by hand first stopping the automatic process, that was not possible another proces did lock the install .....

Looking into the config I noticed that there was a left over from an earlier ffr-install (hum ... hum ...)
Tryed again -- not good -- again

However pfSense was running and I did generate a config without package info
And did load that
it worked ....
however the package config info was gone ....
but the system did install the packages .... strange

I also did see it the other way around in the past
- remove a package
- install it again
- and wonder ....... the configuration data was still there

This to give you background info
..... however the issues described above ...... are more than good for a lower prio bug to fix IMHO

You should post these kinds of things on the forum and not here. That is the proper place to discuss and diagnose what might have happened and then once a real problem is identified (unique, unknown, reproducible) an issue can be opened with details about what happened and how to reproduce it and so on.

I've tested numerous VMs on todays snapshot and had no problems, it must be something in your methodology or environment.

It's also possible you are hitting other known issues like #10610 which is already being investigated.

No matter what, however, your first instinct should not be to assume every problem you have is a bug to be entered in this issue tracker. Start with the forum.

Jim

the reason to post it here, is that I was very afraid that other people would become in trouble
And depending on peoples config that is perhaps still true.

For that reason, you should see the message as soon as possible IMHO, and that is not at all guaranteed when using the forum

Louis

We constantly monitor the forum, that is not a concern.

Jim,

It is not related to PIMD. In the past week I had many crashes related to swithing interfaces on or off yes or now combined with a reboot. Because I initionally did expect a direct relation with PIMD, I removed all packages including PIMD. Even then I see the problem.

Louis

Louis- There are no problems with the snapshots on my end either. I try to test every release that comes out. Please post these issues in the forum so others will see and can decided to test or not.
