2.6.0 to 2.7.2 experience

lightingman117

Just figured I'd share my experience.

2.6.0 to 2.7.0 was like normal.
I used GUI update and it took a bit longer than I figured, it came up just fine (I'll make a small note of the log saying a crash occurred regarding PHP, but I've seen that before and it doesn't affect my experience).

I tried to go directly to 2.7.2 and got an error. Figured 2.7.1 might be a stepping point.
Had to re-try 2.7.1 a few times, but all worked after some repetition.

Now on 2.7.1 tried to go to 2.7.2 via GUI, Shell (13 & upgrade) no dice.
Tried everything in this thread: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/184670/issue-with-going-from-2-7-0-to-2-7-2

Still nothing working.
I'm ready to do a clean install, but I'm weary of the new installer given this post:

Packages all not working with older PHP so I need to update soon-ish.

Using a Protectli J4125

I'll make one small quibble. Going to 2.7.0/1 made all my packages show up 3 times. Kinda weird. Hoping 2.7.2 fixes it?

Just learned there's a large CME event tonight...all the servers running without ECC has a hiccup lol.

Friends saw the Aurora all the way down in FL, USA.
