very slow upgrading
-
For some time now, version upgrading have been very slow, 1-2 hours.
Could this be related to the disk whose size is 101G used 17G? -
No, the disk size would not make any difference.
You have seen the slow upgrade across several upgrades? Between different versions?
Are you able to check the download speed when it's updating?

I update rarely, once a year, today I updated from 2.7.0 to 2.7.2 for 40 minutes, it downloads quickly, then reboots and takes a long time to install. And this despite the fact that there were no packages installed there at all. A year ago it also took a very long time to update. I’m starting to think maybe 100 gigs isn’t enough for him when updating. -
I upgraded a box from 2.7.0 to 2.7.2 on Thursday and it was running in 4GB.
It took a long time, over an hour, but that was mostly because it's running from a CF card and it's incredibly slow. Your drive should not see anything like that restriction.

@Cergo is DNS working on pfSense itself? IPv6 enabled or disabled?
-
@SteveITS running dns resolver and set Allow IPv6
-
@Cergo does it work though? Diagnostics/DNS Lookup succeeds using both?
Upgrades on eMMC storage normally don’t take more than 10-15 minutes so 1-2 hours seems absurdly slow.
-
@SteveITS The download is fast, but then after a reboot the unpacking and installation is very slow.
-
Next time when you upgrade, while upgrading, open a console, or SSH, option 8 and run 'top' during the upgrade.
You'll see what process is so slow ...You didn't tell anything about the hardware used.
If the processor used is a 6502, your system is actually very fast
Or, as said above, depending the hardware storage used, some time can be needed to write out all the file.
For reference : my 4100 Max : updating was as fast as downloading : a minute or two maybe. -
@Gertjan top during installation
, I will try.
my system it's old hp proliant
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5530 @ 2.40GHz
16 CPUs: 2 package(s) x 4 core(s) x 2 hardware threads
AES-NI CPU Crypto: No
QAT Crypto: No -
.... and the drive is ? I get it, probably not a "eMMC" or a "CF" card.
The disk is in a clean state ?
Does it boot normally ? -

@Cergo said in very slow upgrading:
then after a reboot the unpacking and installation is very slow.
Hmm, that seems odd. Hard to see how that could be anything but a drive issue.
Unless maybe it's a decompression issue, trying to use some hardware offloading that isn't correctly supported.
