Hello, This happened to me twice. OpenBSD 7.3 with syspatches.
I have a pair of carp/pfsync/pf/relayd firewall-load balancers with many redirects (only) on them. I wanted to do maintenance of some hosts bellow load balancers. After a while relayd crashed on Master firewall only. This happened to me again the last time I did it, again only on the Master. Error message: pfe: check_table: cannot get table stats: No such file or directory Some of the redirects are for dovecot director. I use parent to skip same tests happening twice. table <dir> { dir1 retry 2, dir2 retry 2 } table <dir_> { dir1 parent 9 retry 2, dir2 parent 10 retry 2 } table <smtp> { imap1 retry 2, imap2 retry 2 } the first redirect (dir-imap) uses <dir> table and rest of redirects use <dir_> I did not disable redirects, only hosts. /var/log/daemon: # relayctl host dis imap1 # relayctl host dis dir1 Jun 30 01:40:02 ll1 relayd[61766]: table imap-smtp: 0 added, 1 deleted, 0 changed, 0 killed Jun 30 01:40:05 ll1 relayd[61766]: table dir-imap: 0 added, 1 deleted, 0 changed, 0 killed Jun 30 01:40:05 ll1 relayd[61766]: table dir-pop: 0 added, 1 deleted, 0 changed, 0 killed Jun 30 01:40:05 ll1 relayd[61766]: table dir-lmtp: 0 added, 1 deleted, 0 changed, 0 killed Jun 30 01:40:05 ll1 relayd[61766]: table dir-sieve: 0 added, 1 deleted, 0 changed, 0 killed # relayctl host dis imap2 # relayctl host dis dir2 Jun 30 01:45:59 ll1 relayd[52103]: incremented the demote state of group '0relay' Jun 30 01:46:01 ll1 relayd[52103]: incremented the demote state of group '0relay' Jun 30 01:46:01 ll1 relayd[52103]: incremented the demote state of group '0relay' Jun 30 01:46:01 ll1 relayd[52103]: incremented the demote state of group '0relay' Jun 30 01:46:01 ll1 relayd[52103]: incremented the demote state of group '0relay' same logs on Backup firewall so far, but after a minute or so: Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[61766]: pfe: check_table: cannot get table stats: No such file or directory Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[94434]: ca exiting, pid 94434 Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[83189]: ca exiting, pid 83189 Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[9023]: ca exiting, pid 9023 Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[89820]: ca exiting, pid 89820 Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[94676]: ca exiting, pid 94676 Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[1820]: hce exiting, pid 1820 Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[52103]: lost child: pid 61766 exited abnormally Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[5784]: relay exiting, pid 5784 Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[13717]: relay exiting, pid 13717 Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[56752]: relay exiting, pid 56752 Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[66385]: relay exiting, pid 66385 Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[15228]: relay exiting, pid 15228 Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[52103]: decremented the demote state of group '0relay' Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[52103]: parent terminating, pid 52103 /var/log/messages: Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[61766]: pfe: check_table: cannot get table stats: No such file or directory Jun 30 01:47:46 ll1 relayd[52103]: lost child: pid 61766 exited abnormally Giannis
