Description 5 Tips for Using pfSense Software.

Perform Graceful Shutdown :

Be sure the pfSense firewall doesn’t lose power abruptly. This can happen if you are running the firewall in an environment with dirty power, a power loss, or if you pull the power cord to reboot
the system.
Depending on the state of the firewall and what is occurring, abrupt loss of power can corrupt the firmware and require running the fsck command to clean up the firmware or in extreme cases

Please shut it down gracefully from the Diagnostics menu in the web GUI or option 6 from the serial or video console (depending on the system).
