High Memory and CPU Issues

EFG devices with 64GB RAM still experience high memory usage and crashes, indicating deeper system issues.
Enabling Next AI inspection causes EFG crashes, with disabling it restoring functionality.
Earlyoom triggers when available memory drops below 256MB, but swap space conditions aren't always met.
Logging issues lead to disk space exhaustion, causing Suricata to fail and triggering OOM errors.

Network and HA Failures

EFG devices in HA mode show sync failures, with shadow devices appearing offline in primary systems.
Latency spikes every 20 minutes disrupt switch performance, with clients unable to ping EFG's LAN.
STP events and packet drops persist even after migrating to UXG-ENT devices.
Switch logs are flooded with dhcp_snp logs, complicating DHCP server load-balancing diagnostics.

Custom Firmware and Patches

Marvell-provided patches sometimes introduce SMQ Flush errors, causing system panics.
Custom builds are shared to collect detailed logs, but users often hesitate to install them.
Scripts are deployed to catch more logs, but issues like RCU stalls remain unresolved.
Users report frustration with temporary fixes that don't address root causes permanently.

Conclusion and Next Steps

Recurring EFG issues highlight systemic problems with memory management and firmware stability.
Custom firmware and patches provide temporary relief but often introduce new complications.
Migration to UXG-ENT devices shows promise but doesn't fully resolve all network issues.
Ongoing collaboration with Marvell and detailed log collection are critical for permanent solutions.
