What about the rest of your tables, did they loose any info as well -- what's the output of
I've just tested flushing all possible parameters including tables by the following command
Code:
# pfctl -Fa -f /etc/pf.conf
but my /etc/blacklist file which is implemented exactly the same as your /etc/pf.garbage.txt file remained untouched so if your file is empty I'd have thought it was not done by PF.
