Bug #3140
closedpfblocker 2.1 error (Cannot allocate memory) with builds after "Aug 1 19:39:40"
0%
Description
I have been using pfsense for over 2 years now and I love it (master and slave virtualized under ESXi 5.1).
I am using pfblocker 2.1 and have not had much trouble with it until last week when I started to get the error:
[ There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:41: cannot define table pfBlockerLevel2: Cannot allocate memory - The line in question reads [41]: table persist file /var/db/aliastables/pfBlockerLevel2.txt]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I already tried some very high values for the Firewall Maximum Table Entries with no success (System - Advanced - Firewall Maximum Table Entries = 999999999)
My previous value was 4000000 and it was working fine.
This happens with no changes made to the pfsense config: The error comes up if I update to any build after: Thu Aug 1 19:39:40 EDT 2013
I also went ahead and configured 2 GB Memory (instead of 1 GB that was working fine until last week), with no success either.
I also tried changing the PHP memory (/etc/inc/config.inc) from 256M to 512M, with no success either.

Update:
This seems to have been fixed in today's build: Thu Aug 15 16:30:12 EDT 2013
I just installed it and the pfblocker error no longer comes up (and not having to revert the commit given above).
I have not seen any change/update on this bug, so I hope the bug was actually fixed and it's not just a coincidence or unintended behavior.
But if it was fixed indeed, thanks so much!
