Oh...that's interesting. I run pfSense and it had NO ZFS related tunable. I was at the default 5 sec. Maybe I should pay more attention to the Opnsense forums

See my additions to the post above your reply....actually Intel quietly fixes vulnerability attacks in these updates - and they don't advertise it much because of the messy update process. Hmmm... Naughty Intel at it again. :mad:

This would be a good start to stop ZFS to grind away your disk on pfSense : vfs.zfs.txg.timeout=120 (or more...it's how often ZFS writes the cached info. Default is 5 seconds). This can be set as a Tunables to be persistent. zfs set sync=disabled pfSense/tmp zfs set sync=disabled pfSense/var...

Do share if you find a way to determine what processes are still logging to disk. I'm not too concerned about my system, but like you I'm using a pretty large Ramdisk with writes to NVMe every 24 hrs, so I'm curious what adds up besides that. My system log is pretty clean, besides some MAC...

Hey @pigr8 you mentioned that you upgraded an i225 - what config file did you use? I am tempted to upgrade my NICs on the older N5105 with 1.57 on them. The config requires the device name (I assume it has to match 100%), the device ID (also matching) and of course the bin file name and EEPID...

I noticed that 25.11 did report properly on my N5105, now even that one is messed up in 25.11.1 If you look at sysctl dev.cpu.0..3.freq it shows lower frequencies, but NEVER below 1Ghz. Also temps are messed up...dashboard shows higher ones. I think that they messed up the script pulling CPU...

Just polling the hive mind here....is there a solution for pfSense (and FreeBSD in general) to properly handle N100 family of chips? Mine never drops to 600-800Mhz no matter what PL1 I configure and also never gets in turbo mode. Looks like this is been amply discussed on Reddit and FreeBSD...

Yep, I managed to install mine and it does have a readable temp sensor...mine is at 44C idle. Maybe I'm spending more on heating than you :p The weird thing (but not unique to this ssd) is that it doesn't support self-test. Anyhow, I ordered 2 more to replace every one of the firewalls, low...

I noticed that if smartctl can't read the SSD sensor, it will report 40C. So I'm taking that with a grain of salt (3 SSDs I had show the same temp). Also...1GB/day??? With logging to Ramdisk? That seems excessive. I have that kind of setup and average 5-10MB /day. I don't use any PPS packages...

I upgraded one port, rebooted, checked inventory and found that it took the firmware, therefore I blasted the other 4 ports (remember that in Windows the active port can't be read properly, so I needed to keep moving the cable) and after one last reboot, all ports looked fine. 2.17->2.32 didn't...

Bless your heart for the detailed write-up Updated 5 (yes, my Zxipc has 5 ports ) from 2.17 to 2.32 without much drama, once I realized that under Windoze the current state the currently used network port will be only partiality read, resulting in a VPD error in inventory. Just do the other...

Baremetal running 23.05 on a Topton N5105 system (16G RAMB/128GB NVME) pfSense is using 16.1GB+ when in reality it should be 4.7GB or so. Looks like my snapshots went very rogue...I deleted everything except ONE, but I did get an "Error 5" when deleting SOME if them. Didn't think much of it as...

I hope I'm not alone trying to connect a USB serial cable to the RJ45 console port. Here's what I have done so far (with little to no success): - bought a Cisco USB serial console cable from AliExpress (Cisco console cable) - purchased an RJ45 Open connector that allows me to reconnect wires...

I'm cheap... I got a Netgear RAX50 refurbished to repurpose as a wifi 6 AP. While not 6E capable, it does do 4x4 in the 5GHz band, 160MHz channel. Only gigabit ports, but at a few meters distance, I get close to gigabit speeds on the clients. Considering how poor the Netgear software options...

Happy to report that I got some time on my hands this weekend and made this little box my main router/ firewall. This is a bare metal pfSense install, just to be clear. I haven't got the fan yet, but even without it CPU temp stabilized around 40C with spikes to 70C when stressed for an hour...

Yeah, on mine the aluminum block cutouts don't line properly with the VRs so it kept the gap between CPU and the copper block large. I just removed the aluminum block, haven't gone past 70C since, and that's without the fan. Yes, I did apply all the BIOS and pfSense optimisations recommended...

Part of the mystery solved...I hope it helps others: I tried your suggestion with thermal pad - no dice, worse temps. Then I took a light and peeked under the mobo to see if I can spot what prevents the CPU to make proper contact with the copper block: the the bloody additional aluminum block...

I can't figure out why I'm running at 42C idle and 95C under stress test then instantly drop back to 45C...clearly the thermal contact is imperfect. I ordered a 40mm x 7mm fan from Aliexpress...i'll be retired and the house burnt down from the pfSense appliance by the time it gets here :) I also...

Newbie here... I spent the weekend reading through the forum posts and like many others I re-pasted the CPU, made BIOS changes and stabilized the temperature at 40-42C (ambient 26C) . I installed a bare metal pfSense which works well, tweaked the manual CPU settings there as well - so BIG thanks...
