Server 2022, I can't move from CE to 23.01 because of "Early boot hangs on Hyper-V with Gen2 VMs #1389". What is the work around to get to 23.05 that fixed this issue?
-
I'll be upgrading my 6100 MAX tonight.

After 23.05 is released we will update the CE > Plus upgrade repo to use it. Then you can upgrade directly.

APU6B4 - pfSense+ (Plus) 23.05 RC since a half hour all
is fine here, only three packages must be updated too,
but this went automatically after the first reboot.
(ACME, Snort and Squid)APU4D4 - pfSense 2.7 Devel runs like a charm since today.

Upgraded went smoothly on my SG-1100. So far no issues. Enabled IPsec-MB also, seems to be working, though my firewall doesn't have the scale to see if this helped me at all.
Thanks.

Upgraded my box Minisforum TH-50 from 23.01, no problems.
-
Upgraded my 6100 MAX successfully. I did notice a bunch of errors in the install log watching the console, but I have not encountered any problems. The upgrade waa extremely fast coming from 23.01.
-
Guess I'll be upgrading again tonight!
-
@defenderllc Yep. The upgrade to 23.05.r.20230511.0600 was small, quick, and painless so far.
-
@juanzelli I'll knock it out between meetings. Yes, I like to roll the dice. :)
-
Upgraded my 6100 MAX from the first RC build to the new one. Upgrade time was less than 5 minutes.

Upgrade completed without errors. However, after reboot GUI reported Mem usage increased form 16% to 51%.
This on my Netgate 5100 4Mb RAM. After I did system Halt; and restarted mem usage is back to 17%. -

This on my Netgate 5100 4Mb RAM. After I did system Halt; and restarted mem usage is back to 17%.Same. Mine usually hovers around 18% and now it's nearly double that.

This on my Netgate 5100 4Mb RAM. After I did system Halt; and restarted mem usage is back to 17%.That is quite normal. It happens because of the ZFS filesystem ARC cache. The upgrade does a LOT of filesystem work (completely unusual), and the ARC cache therefore grows alot as long as there is free memory to use. A restart clears the cache, and it will not happen again unless a new upgrade or some other anomaly causes massive filesystem work.

In my case, it spiked after a 2nd clean reboot and seems to be slowly returning back to normal (down 1% every 15 minutes or so).

The entire upgrade went fine without any problems
anymore.
RAM usage will be a little bit higher on 23.05 RC, but
not on 2.7 Devel, but often after a while it will be
splitting into 50% RAM and 50% swap usage.23.05 RC
2.7 Devel

This third RC version has been super stable so far…
-
Updated to 23.05 RC and most sites were unreachable. What to do? Can't find the exact cause. When I rebooted to 23.01 everything was fine again.
It looked like all ipv6 connections where terminated. But I don't have any weird rule that would cause this. Any suggestions where to look?
I have a PPPoE ipv4 connections and using
Use IPv4 connectivity as parent interfacefor setting up an IPv6 connection. -
@liudger Have you determined yet if this is a DNS issue?
Can you ping any outside sites?
