Moved home license to new hardware by restoring backup - some issues now

69ragtop

I usually find the answer by searching but I have been through tons of threads and made no progress.  

After getting symmetrical 1 Gbps service, my old Intel E8400 based system couldn't keep up.  It would get ~250 Mbps down with IPS and ~550 Mbps with IPS disabled.  I also had a Realtek NIC that needed to go.  New hardware is I5-9400 and Intel I340-T4 quad NIC.  Getting 800+ Mbps with IPS and 900+ Mbps without IPS so all is good on that front.

Problems:

1. CPU constantly at 35% even with no traffic

2. I wanted to run top to see what it looks like but I cannot SSH or get into shell.  Using loginuser for SSH.  Using root for shell.  Set and reset both passwords with webadmin but no luck.  Later tonight, I will try resetting the passwords by modifying GRUB to get to a shell.  When I try to login at the console, I get a the message: "Permissions on the password database may be too restrictive."

3. When looking at logs to see what might be consuming CPU, the system log is full of:  "pg1: connect: could not connect to server: No such file or directory"

It seems like there are some file ownership issues.

Also, I may try a factory reset followed by a restore if I cannot get the loginuser and root password problems squared away.

I am open to suggestions or questions.

Thanks!

    Have you tried logging in directly to console?  You'll need a monitor/keyboard attached to the pc running utm to do so.

    Then you can run top to see details of the rogue task/service.

    I'd say if the hardware changes significantly (such as in your case), it's a good idea to reinstall from the iso then import the latest backup.  There maybe drivers/hardware elements that are missing/corrupted.

    800 mbps with ips on (snort) is pretty good!.  Mine tops out at ~450 down, 650 up (mbps).  This is on an i5 6600k under esxi with 4 vcpu's. There are exceptions so certain traffic does not need to be subjected to ips.

    When I try the console (monitor and keyboard) with root, I get denied and it also states "Permissions on the password database may be too restrictive."

    It was a fresh install from ISO on the new machine.  Then I did a backup on the old machine and restored it on the new machine.  

    EDIT - I was able to change the root password with the method of modifying the grub selection to boot to a command line.  However, when it was rebooting, there was an error indicating that PostgreSQL.su had the wrong password.  I ended up wiping it with the same ISO DVD and restoring a config backup made while it was stuck at 35%.  

    Idling in low single digits so it seems to have fixed things.  Console and SSH both work now.
