      I have been staying current with development snapshots until now. Upgrading from 22.05.b.20220523.0600 from the WebUI proceeds as though all is well. After the reboot, no upgrade occurred.

      Running from the console, I see the following:

      Migrating /cf to ZFS dataset /dev//cf.../dev//cf: No such file or directory
      done.
      Migrating /var/db/pkg to ZFS dataset /dev//var_db_pkg.../dev//var_db_pkg: No such file or directory

      ZFS has never been used on this install of pfSense, so that is a problem.

      Suggestions?

        I'm not sure about the ZFS lines, I haven't seen those here, but No address record would be from a lack of DNS. The firewall itself isn't able to resolve the hostnames of the update servers. Either that or it doesn't have a default route or working outbound connectivity.

          My internet service has been strange lately, so loss of DNS may have happened in the previous attempt.

          Here is another attempt without the "No address record" errors...

            If you watch the console are there any errors output there? That is odd that it is acting like it's proceeding but then not updating.

              No errors appeared in the console while running the update from the WebUI.

              Looking at /var/db/pkg, it is a symbolic link to /root/var/db/pkg.

                Do you have RAM disks enabled?

                  Yes. System has 8GB of RAM with only 4% in use.

                    Update: saw a new update, 22.05.b.20220524.1701, and tried to update from the console. Except for the strange ZFS errors, everything was fine until this happened:

                    pkg-static: Not enough space in /var/cache/pkg, needed 111 MiB available 106 MiB

                    I increased the ram disk for /var from 256MB to 384MB and rebooted.

                    No warning about /var not having enough space, but the update did not happen.

                    Increased the ram disk for /var to 512MB and rebooted. Again, the update failed.

                    Disabled the ram disk and rebooted.

                    Success! Until further notice, I am not using a ram disk for /tmp and /var.
