      the problem is that the GUI is not working and in CLI the most Menu options also... i cant use Menu 4 (Reset) because of this error...

      menu 8 (Shell) is working

        @opit-gmbh That looks like what you might see if the filesystem is full. Do you have a lot of ZFS snapshots on that box? Do you see any filesystem errors in the upgrade logs?

        At the command line you can run bectl list to see how many snaps you might have. And bectl destroy xxxx to remove older snaps.

            Hmm, OK. Not that then. Let me try to replicate it....

              Ok, that looks like a bug: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13831
              Should be fixed in the next snap.

                @opit-gmbh Do you have any of the upgrade logs from that? Any other errors shown?

                The chances of hitting that bug we found are extremely low.

                  Fixed the situation like this.

                  • I made a backup of the settings.
                  • Restored an older image (22.05),
                  • updated to the latest version of 23.01,
                  • restored setting from backup

                    @viper_rus Is this what you were getting?

                    I'm not sure it's really an issue though since it seems to complete the checks fine in the end?

                    This is running the pfSense-upgrade -d as Stephen suggested.

                      I was getting this error in the WEB interface and the installation process was interrupted. Perhaps it was possible to fix it with the proposed option, I'll use it next time :))) But at the moment I have the last snapshot ;)

                        @viper_rus Ah ok I see, yeah I have no error in the web interface but have it via CLI. I'll see if it persists. I assume for now I'm on the latest build and there just hasn't been a new one since 23.01.b.20230104.0600

                            @stephenw10 all set. Cleared the .rrd file.
                            Reinstalled pfb-ng. Services now show.

                            Dynamic DNS is still wonky. Using the default which is http://checkip.dyndns.org. It does resolve to my address. Will wait and see what the next snap brings us.

                            Si vis pacem, para pactum.

                                    I also upgraded successfully to 23.01.b.20230105.0600 from 23.01.b.20230104.0600 in the web interface. And now there is not even a message that I do not have a plus license :)

                                    Maybe someone will tell. For a long time now, when I load phsense, two lines appear


                                    OpenVPN settings...done
                                    route: route has not been found
                                    route: route has not been found

                                    Configuring firewall......done.

                                    Can't find the reason for these errors

                                      Last night I was not able to upgrade a fresh install from 2.6.0 to plus. Kept getting package and cert errors. Can someone confirm if its an issue on my end or a netgate issue.
                                      Thanks so much

                                        Failed upgrading from 2.6 to 22.01? Nothing has changed there AFAIK. Testing...

                                            Upgrades still working as expected for me here. No change since I last tested it. Which is as expected since nothing has changed there.
