Hi all,
It's been a long time since I posted here. I had to create a new account because I forgot my password from my current account and my email address doesn't exist anymore... anyway.
I have been using FreeBSD since the 9.x release, and this is the first time I see this.
Today just after and upgrade from 13.1-RELEASE-p2 -> to 13.1-RELEASE-p3 + a reboot , I was not able to ssh to my server anymore ...
And for good reason, after investigation (which means unplug the machine and put it in another room for attach a screen etc. ...), I found that the /etc/rc.conf had simply disappeared.
Yes totally disappeared, which means no more no network, no hostname .... nothing.
By chance, this server is on my home location and I had a copy in a nfs share of rc.conf and pf.conf, and I was able to copy by hand the minimal stuff (IP + SSH enable) to reenable the network.
But this behavior is really odd. I have no idea what happened ... but not really cool at all
