PC-BSD - Error when restarting pf firewall or within Ports Jail

Trigger :

When pf service is restarted

Error messages :

# /etc/rc.d/pf restart
Disabling pf
pf disabled
.
Enabling pf
no IP address found for lo1:network
/etc/pf.conf:4: could not parse host specification
no IP address found for lo1:network
/etc/pf.conf:5: could not parse host specification
pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded
pf enabled
.

Side Effect :

When running "Ports Jail" terminal with portsnap or installation, it will failed because there's not internet connection present.

Why :

The interface "lo1:network" is missing due to abnormal shutdown of "portjail" service.

Solution :

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/portjail restart

This will restart PCBSD's "Ports Jail" service and create back the "lo1:network" interface. Proceed to restart pf then "Ports Jail" related stuff.

By the way, the PC-BSD team just released version 8.2 a month back. Good job guys! :)

Hasta la vista !!!
