      Cool. I would rename you BEs to clean that up. There is new code in that makes that better moving forward.

          Mhhh not good, there are still problems with snapshots ....
          I have updated to 24.03.b.20240305.0455 and the boot was done with the previous release.

          I try to manually force the correct boot snapshot....

                Go to Diagnostics > Command Prompt and enter

                touch /verbose_rc
                

                Then do the upgrade again.

                I need the console ouput during the reboot.

                  OK

                  -) Rollback to 23.09.1
                  -) Upgrade to 24.03 beta

                  • After reboot:

                    You'll need to watch the boot at the console. I just need the end of it. Most likely what is happening is that you are actually booting into the new version but it's failing boot verification for some reason and automatically rolling back to the previous.

                      OK, I carefully repeated the whole update process.
                      I checked the boot sequence carefully and there is no upgrade attempt.
                      The post upgrade 23.09.1->24.03 Beta system seems to boot from the snapshot related to 23.09.1 without even trying to upgrade.
                      That is if I do not go to "play" with the BE ... if I go to force the snapshot, it starts correctly in 24.03.

                        If I click, relative to the last line of this image, on... start from this snapshot (24.03b) the system restarts in 23.09.1

                            Why this one ?

                            I've just set a new default boot snapshot (change the star) .... I did not set a "one time boot mode"

                              After the upgrade is performed the new BE is marked temporary for the next boot so that if boot verification fails, the system automatically reboots back into the old BE.

                                  Okay, but it doesn't make sense for this alert to appear... the system is running with the snapshot default_previous_20240302092838_20240305095307, the next is default_previous_20240302092838_20240305095307 (correctly, because it is the default) and the alert says... "this is a temporary boot", look the next from which the system will be rebooted is : default_previous_20240302092838_20240305095307 (that is what is now running).

                                  4cfb226b-2028-4893-a089-a73aa6ae7500-immagine.png

                                    what's the output of

                                    bectl list
                                    

                                    When it's in that state?

                                        And the system reboot on a different snapshot, the upgrade is not completed

                                          I've just upgrade (again).

                                          PfSense reboot on 24.03b.20240306.0600

                                          Is set "temporary BE" on 24.03b.20240307.0536 but is fully ignored
