2.7.0 to 2.7.2 fails with not possible to identify which meta package is installed

[martinaz]

@stephenw10
I've tried to upgrade, from gui I have the option to choose 2.7.1 or 2.7.2 but doesn't work, I receive the same error. Can be a ssd(hdd) issue?

[stephenw10]

It could be but I doubt it. It's trying to mount the EFI partition to update the loader and failing.

Is this actually a UEFI install?

[stephenw10]

Check the version of pfSense-upgrade you have. Run: pkg-static info -x pfsense

This should be fixed in current pfSense-upgrade versions:

@stephenw10
This is the output from the pkg-static info -x pfsense

Hmm, what do you see from: ls -ls /dev ?

Does /dev/gpt or /dev/msdosfs exist?

How about from: cat /etc/fstab ?

Ah, it does have a GPT device.

[stephenw10]

Are you booting ZFS from the SSD or UFS from the eMMC?

[stephenw10]

Do both fail to upgrade?

[stephenw10]

Hmm, I assume it must be ZFS from the SSD since the /dev/gpt device is created.

I can't replicate this locally. Do you know what version was installed initially?

[martinaz]

@stephenw10
The device boot from the SSD, and the initial version it was 2.6.0-RELEASE, the upgrades worked with no issues until today.

[stephenw10]

Can you confirm it's booting ZFS from the SSD?

The dashboard will show the ~120GB drive and that is's ZFS.

I think the issue here is being caused by the fact you have two installed drives and it's trying to update the wrong one. Trying to replicate it locally.
