Every 5s, error in logs from ip_blockd

[luckman212]

On a particular RUTX11 device, I am getting the error below repeating every 5 seconds in my log

# logread -f
Fri Nov 15 14:57:39 2024 daemon.err ip_blockd[15754]: ipset v7.6: The set with the given name does not exist
Fri Nov 15 14:57:44 2024 daemon.err ip_blockd[15755]: ipset v7.6: The set with the given name does not exist
Fri Nov 15 14:57:49 2024 daemon.err ip_blockd[15764]: ipset v7.6: The set with the given name does not exist
Fri Nov 15 14:57:54 2024 daemon.err ip_blockd[15879]: ipset v7.6: The set with the given name does not exist

Here is my /etc/config/ip_blockd (have not changed it)

config globals 'ip_blockd'
	option max_attempt_count '10'
	option enabled '1'
	option reboot_clear '0'

Running

ipset flush ipb_port

results in

ipset v7.6: The set with the given name does not exist

(same error)

Firmware 7.10.2. Reboot has not helped.

Any ideas?

I figured out how to fix this. In case it helps someone…

I compared the output of ipset list from a known-working unit, and found several tables that were missing (all prefixed by ipb_). I inspected the types, and recreated them on the misbehaving unit:

ipset create ipb_port hash:ip,port
ipset create ipb_port_dest hash:ip,port,ip

The mystery of how the device got into this state remains unsolved… @Teltonika ?

Not sure if it’s related, but I noticed this entry in the changelog for the 7.11 firmware:
