pfSense

And it's still happening on that snapshot? (It's from yesterday, hasn't been 24hrs yet). The em driver was changed out about a week or so ago, it may have made a difference.

It would also help to have a general overview of all of the features you have in use (traffic shaping, captive portal, vpns, etc, etc) and an idea of how loaded the system is (some general traffic stats, x amount per day/hour/etc, y pps). A sanitized version of the output from /status.php would also help. If you do not want to post that here, you can e-mail it to one of us.

We'll need a lot more information to go on in order to determine what is going on.

Summary:

7 lines mlppp
2 em NICs
14 or so vlans on both NICS, total
openvpn client
no packages currently installed, although I think some package info is still in the config file.
daily transfer is usually 9-50 GB

The last snapshot that ran for more than three days was May 1 full install, up for 40 days, mbufs were >22K. This snapshot show some initial growth in mbuf count. Time will tell if that levels off.

I'll email my status.php to jimp since it's too

For future reference, these commands came in handy:

sed -i 's/.*<prv>\(.*\)<\/prv>.*/.*<prv>xxxxxx<\/prv>/g' status.php.txt
sed -i 's/.*<crt>\(.*\)<\/crt>.*/.*<crt>xxxxxx<\/crt>/g' status.php.txt

The RRD graphs mostly didn't survive the config restore, so the screenshot is the best I can do. I had firewall set to Conservative. I don't know why I would have had a bunch of non-negotiated connections, but I do have a lot of clients on the network that I don't control.

I set the firewall optimization to normal and cleared all my custom system tunables. We'll see how that fares on RC3.
