@revengineer said in CE Edition Download???: When you open the file in an archive manager (I use 7zip), you see and extract the file as pfSense-plus-installer-24.02-BETA2-amd64-20240312-0600.img. Hence the confusion. FWIW Netgate has posted they’re going to change the numbering scheme. The installer is beta for a few months now. It offers a choice of versions to install.

Oh, I see so if you have this specific UFS install the 2.7.0 kernel will not boot from it. The 2.7.2 kernel will boot from it but you have to go through 2.7.0 because that was the first version that added dynamic repos. Hmm. Yeah I'm not sure what we can do about that at this point. You can always install 2.7.2 clean and restore the config from 2.6.

@stephenw10 said in Version weirdness after 23.05.1 -> 23.09.1 update: That happens if another instance of pkg-static is running which it is just after an upgrade. Gotcha, I figured as much. And I would imagine an 1100 without a RAM disk takes a bit longer than a 2100 with, which is most of our clients. FWIW my second 1100 upgrade last night fared far better, although there was a period roughly around 12:25/12:30 to 12:45 am CDT where pfSense-repoc "failed to fetch the repo data" and the forum was offline, which I'm guessing were related.

@stephenw10 That's excellent, thank you. Also many thanks for the clarification regarding the CLI upgrade process. I agree that not switching branches automatically makes much more sense.

What about SWAP usage? If you have a 2100-MAX with the SSD https://forum.netgate.com/topic/188008/sg2100-128gb-ssd-and-swap/

@stephenw10 You are correct. This is exactly what the problem was. EFI partition was never formatted after creation. I followed the steps you outlined and the upgrade completed successfully. Thank you so much for taking the time to figure out the issue and helping me. Have a great day!

@stephenw10 Thank you!

I found that the "DTBFAT0" partition is the partition that works. [image: 1715010880860-pfsense-recovery-firmware-usb-drive.jpg]

You should be able to just select all the defaults for the 1100. The installer detects that and sets defaults appropriately.

That should be fixed. If you do see it again reinstall the Wireguard package.

@good4y0u it needs the password and device key: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/autoconfigbackup.html#bare-metal-restoration

No, not unless you have some boot issue that requires the use of the secondary table. However you can try to use growfs to fill the disk if you wish. Run: touch /root/force_growfs then reboot and it should fill it during the next boot.

@andy58 I agree! there should be a disk space check command issued before update starts.

Yes, probably. Check the RAM usage. Check available disk space.

@dgall There is a new (beta) Installer: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/xg-7100/reinstall-pfsense.html

@pixel24 said in No Update 2.8.0 available: @Gertjan I've never worked with the Pathes package before. I've always installed updates exclusively through the web UI. That is for program updates. Netgate releases fixes in between version updates. They are normally included in the next version. They often backport security fixes.

@stephenw10 Hello, The device has only two nics but when I installed pfsense plus they were detected right away properly as active and was able to choose WAN and LAN and it was good a detecting internet on the WAN interface. In any case it is working now. Thanks

@SteveITS @jimp Ok thanks, I applied all the patches and performed the normal system reboot. Everything seems to be working fine.

Sophos XGS 87 is not supporting pfSense. Bless

@stephenw10 The inclusion of the pfSense-repoc package in the command below + the temporary removal of Snort and pfblockerNG did the trick. pkg-static clean -ay ; pkg-static install -fy pkg pfSense-repo pfSense-repoc pfSense-upgrade Happily running on version 24.03 now. Cheers!
