    I applied the 24.03 update today to my 1100. Appears to have executed smoothly and rebooted back into production without issue. Prior to executing the update, I removed all the packages. After the update, I reinstalled all the packages from scratch. For some reason, some packages did not start automatically after installation including pfBlocker and Status Traffic Totals. So I ran the pfBlocker download process and when that was complete it started up normally. I started Status Traffic Totals from the dashboard without incident. My packages are: Cron Mailreport pfBlockerNG Service Watchdog Status Traffic Total System Patches My plan is to run this in production for a week or so to verify stability and then update my shelf-spare 1100. This will complete my update cycle.

    Cool. I'm a FreeBSD user for a long time, have always preferred ZFS even on single disk systems because of Boot Environments. Doing a major upgrade I've always done the "create a new BE, mount it, chroot to it and do the upgrade" process. That lets you do the upgrade kernel, upgrade userlande, upgrade all the packages into the new BE while you are still running, then when you boot into that newly created BE everything is consistent, so you have a lot less risk of things going bad. They still can, but that's where the bootonce flag comes in. If the system fails to boot up completely (where the flag gets cleared) reboot and you are back to pre upgrade. Automating this process is a very good thing to have. Very good stuff Netgate.

    The issue appears to lie in older systems having smaller efi boot partitions that are not able take the new (larger) EFI file that is part of 23.01. If your system has this smaller EFI partition you will need to reinstall pfSense and restore from a backup. How to check: Open a console shell (Serial or SSH) or go to Diagnostics->Command Prompt in the GUI. Run the command gpart show If your output shows partition 1 being '800K' your system will need to be reinstall with the current release. At this time upgrading to ZFS in the process. [21.02-RELEASE][root@pfSense.home.arpa]/root: gpart show => 1 15269887 diskid/DISK-B1D52868 MBR (7.3G) 1 1600 1 efi (800K) 1601 70012 2 fat32 (34M) 71613 15198275 3 freebsd (7.2G) Larger partitions indicates no need to re-image. This is an example from an 1100 I have installed in the wild: [image: 1677691503905-7cb57d02-72fd-4102-891d-e55794da4857-image.png] Anything that was imaged using 21.02.2 or later should have a larger partition.

    @brians Yes you are right. It is a pain in the neck when you must rely on tunnel and it is not there. The ping change is a little easier.
