    I'm trying to migrate away from my vmware esxi server. I've been running pfsense on it for a long time. I've exported the vm image as an ova file and now need to convert it to a qcow2 file to import into my linux hypervisor.

    I've been using the virt-v2v utility to convert all of my other VMs and it's worked well, but it appears to have failed on my pfsense VM. The error I got was:

    virt-v2v: error: libguestfs error: inspect_os: sfdisk exited with status 1: sfdisk: /dev/sda: partition 5: partition table contains only 4 partitions

    It appears the pfsense disk image is using a complex partition table that virt-v2v is unable to support.

    I tried using qemu-img as well. qemu-img was able to actually convert the file to a .qcow2 file, but when I attempt to boot from it, I get the following error:

    BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0001 "UEFI QEMU QEMU HARDDISK " from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Scsi(0x0,0x0): Not Found BdsDxe: No bootable option or device was found.

    So I'm wondering if my only alternative is to install a fresh image of pfsense and attempt to import a backup of the configuration. I'm wondering how well this works. I have a recent backup that I could restore. Will it include any configurations I've made in the other packages that I've installed with the package manager? What would you guys do?

    Same here. Does not seem to do any harm but it just feels not right, having so much errors on an interface and not knowing why...

    @LesserBloops said in Netgate Security Advisory: CVE-2024-6387:

    I had no idea System_Patches existed until happening upon this thread

    Yeah .... well, scrap what's I've said above.
    I'll rephrase, and express my real opinion :
    It must be a package, so when an update exists, it will get flagged on the dashboard as 'update == patches' exist. That's the great thing about the pfSense package system.
    I was wondering : why isn't this build into pfSense directly ? But that would mean that there will be another thing to check, pfSense packages updates and patches updates. Another dashboard widget ?
    So : upon pfSense installation : advise the user to pick this package ?
    Or, don't signal the admin, and install the package without admin consent ?
    Humm, maybe not ...

    Right now, any package is installed with admin consent, as you have to install them 'ones'.

    Parches proposed by this package are only mostly 'quality of live' amelioration. But ones in a while they are a must have, as it solves a real issue. Then the question doesn't exist anymore : people will find the forum for support, will find that there is a solution ... a patch, and so on ...

    Real issues, like urgent software updates like (example) curl, unbound nginx etc etc (tyhese are not pfSense packages, but FreeBSD packages ! - or FreeBSD updates ported to their pfSense equivalent by Netgate ) are already getting updated using the command line ( SSH or console !! ) option 13.

    @LesserBloops : I've got one for you : Auto update check, checks for updates to base system + packages and sends email alerts
    "Install" that one also. You maybe not knowing it, but you need it 😊
    Btw : you will need to install the Cron pfSense package.

    This script file tells me, as I receive a mail, if anything has an upgrade waiting. Even pfSense itself.
