      2.6.x RC > 2.6.0 > 22.01 all worked flawlessly.
      Excellent work.

        @gnordoff I noted about an 80% increase in memory usage also, but it seems to have returned to normal after running for a little while.
        Guessing it isn't a 'hard' increase and may only be a few lingering post install cache things.

          Upgraded 2.5.2 CE to 2.6 and all went smoothly so far. It took a long time to download some of the packages, "appearing" to be stuck on some. I just mention that to anyone upgrading to just sit tight.
          The only thing was at the end of the process I got this, which may be no issue and the system seems to be working, but looked a bit odd....

          The process will require 98 MiB more space.
          [1/1] Upgrading pfSense-kernel-pfSense from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0...
          [1/1] Extracting pfSense-kernel-pfSense-2.6.0: .......... done

          Success

            @steveits Removed only Netgate_Firmware_Upgrade package, upgraded to 22.01, reinstalled Netgate_Firmware_Upgrade. Upgrade went smoothly except for the seemingly cosmetic message "pkg-static: DEINSTALL script failed" before rebooting.

            Then I upgraded firmware to CORDOBA-02.02.00.00t, this went smoothly, too.

            Good work by the Netgate folks.

              First of all thanks for all your hard work!!
              I did encounter an issue after upgrading from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0. It appears that any rules I had set to match "Diffserve Code Point" values started erroring out when the ruleset is loaded. I tried several combinations and it seems that the only ones that were causing errors were ones set with csX markings (I was matching on cs7).

              Here's my exact error message:

              There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:278: illegal tos value 56 - The line in question reads [278]: match log on { WAN_Group } inet proto udp from any to any port $Zoom_UDP tos "56" ridentifier 1589829693 queue (qLowDelay) label "USER_RULE: Zoom Uploads (match CS7 audio dscp)
              

              I'm not sure where I should request help or post about this on the forums... I didn't have this issue prior to the upgrade.

                I was able to reproduce and correct this error by manually editing my config.xml file. I filed a bug report here....

                  Great update - went smoothly. Took under 15 minutes: Qotom i5-5250U, 8GB RAM and 120 GB SSD (circa 2% used). ISP: VM 200Mbit down, get 200.

                      I just upgraded from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0, and it appeared to go well, except that I can no longer access the serial console by logging in as root. I can still login with ssh, to the user id that I use with the webgui, but I don't get the menu.

                      Is this expected behavior, or a bug?
                      How can I access the serial menu over ssh?

                      If you find my post useful, please give it a thumbs up!

                        @guardian sounds like you made a legitimate login at some point that isn't admin/root. Might need to re-create it (even though it is there) to get the login script and such back for the 'new' user.
                        Guessing have to install sudo and stuff, as normal user wouldn't have root access.
                        I think the textual menu is provided by /etc/rc.initial

                          @guardian try running

                          /etc/rc.initial
                          

                          to get the menu. Only 'admin' gets the menu by default. If you have disabled this account it is now reflective in the SSH connection with the 2.6 update.

                              any Idea how to deal with CVE-2022-0778 in the case e.g. HaProxy use inside pfSense?

                                HAProxy would only be affected if you have it configured to accept client certificates as a form of authentication. Which is possible, but rare in practice. If you have concerns about that, move the service inside a VPN where it's much more protected. As far as we can tell so far, VPNs are not likely to be as much of an issue as there are other hurdles attackers would have to overcome before the certificates come into play (e.g. TLS key protecting OpenVPN in addition to certificate auth.), and several VPN types and configs don't use certificates at all (e.g. WireGuard). We're still checking into it and keeping an eye on what people find, though.
