Description

After http://redmine.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/repository/revisions/7380bcdbe4be18bcb007f283b71fd5f83b51fced revision carp syncronization has been broken.

It seems like Ermal Luçi misunderstood the real purpose of the pfsense.check_firmware_version XMLRPC procedure.
According to source code pfsense.check_firmware_version calls check_firmware_version function which is used to check for an updated firmware version from pfsense.org, and it does not return a current version of running pfsense.

Dear Ermal Luçi,
May be you should create and register your own XMLRPC procedure (for example pfsense.get_running_firmware_version (I'm not sure why it's prefixed with "pfsense." in pfsense.check_firmware_version)) which will use /etc/version etc. files for this purpose?
Please, look at a beginning of check_firmware_version in /etc/inc/pfsense-utils.inc:

$rawparams = array("firmware" => array("version" => trim(file_get_contents('/etc/version'))),
"kernel" => array("version" => trim(file_get_contents('/etc/version_kernel'))),
"base" => array("version" => trim(file_get_contents('/etc/version_base'))),
"platform" => trim(file_get_contents('/etc/platform')),
"config_version" => $config['version']
);

Thank you.

Ok should be better than before on latest snapshot.
Be careful to have all the related commits.

I'm not sure fixed it or not, because after a configuration sync "Filter reload status" just hangs on "Syncing CARP data to http://..." however all data got sync-ed.

It seems like that is only a cosmetic issue.

After a configuration sync filter reload status file just remains untouched with the last message in it.
May be it should be updated (to 'Done') after a successfull config sync?

Hi guys, carp issue exist in following scenario, VMware pair with 4 interfaces: 1 outside, 1 inside, 1 sync and last as trunk with two VLANs. VIPs are created correctly when applied on the "physical" interfaces but when a VIP is assigned to a VLAN then the sync to the partner throws an error saying "sorry could not find a physical interface in this subnet" (message not exact), the VIP that were created for the VLAN interfaces dont show "backup" on the partner. I worked around it by disabling "syncronise Virtual IPs" on the CARP Settings on the master and create the VIPs manually on the partner backup - that works well and VIPs show as "backup". Havent tried it with previous BETA so not sure if it was working before. Can I help more? pls let me know
