Hello, On recent FreeBSD 13-STABLE (FreeBSD 13.1-STABLE #129 n252824-84b4709f38f: Sat Oct 22 11:45:10 CEST 2022 amd64), restarting mpd5 with an active PPPOE connection crashes FreeBSD. We run a small home brewn FreeBSD based routing and firewalling instance based upon a PCengines APU2C4. Since our ISP is very rigid by resetting the line exactly after 24 hours, we prevent being reset in the middle of the day-to-day work by restarting the connection at night. So far, that worked now for a couple of years - until recently, the cause is unknown, possibly a bug in FBSD and/or mpd5. mpd5 is built on a local poudriere utilizing FreeBSD 13-STABLE as well, last try was to have mpd5 compiled with the same base of the OS as the router/firewall will run. Now I try to find a way how to restart gracefully via mpd5 console (script) the connection without restarting mpd5 and therefore not crashing the underlying system. Any tips? Thansk in advance, O.
