pfSense Plus Software Version 24.11 is here!
-
@SteveITS Thanks for hints ! I looked over other threads.
So I leave it as "GUI-behavior".
As long as there are no problems at my Netgates I use GUI dayly only for seconds to get the "OK"-impression. -
One issue is that after WAN IP renew (which works) the KEA DHCP service stopped and I had to start it up manually.

Has anyone else had issues editing or adding domain overrides in dnsmasq in 24.11? I can add hosts and update custom options but domains don't update.
-
Yes, replicated that. https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15890
-
Upgraded fine, but on first boot, the boot environment failed to verify and reverted to 23.04. Manually triggered a reboot and still had issues. but booted one more time and then it was fine.
-
I upgraded my 2100 to 24.11 without any problems.
Then I gave KEA dhcp server another try, but just like in the previous release, still no custom dhcp option possible. At least, I don't see the config option in the gui.
I switched back to the ISC backend.
-
Yup custom options are coming....
-
Questions:
- My 2100 is not flashing the amber lights it usually does when an upgrade is waiting, thought the upgrade does show available in the web interface. Is this a concern?
- I wonder if I missed some upgrade steps along the way. Is it normal to jump from 24.03-RELEASE (arm64) to 24.11?
Thank you.
-
The update LED is a known bug. It's fixed now: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15880
Yes, 24.11 is the next version after 24.03.

Thank you.
The 24.11 just represents the year and month of the release. Releases aren’t sequential.

Thank you @stephenw10 & @wgstarks .

Upgrade failed on my 2100.

The failure is "Out of Space" but I've never personally added anything, just do upgrades when they arrive. What can I delete, please?
-
Most famous place :
Inspect /var/ and especially /var/log/. What's in there ?
If you have any of the notorious packages like ntopng, bandwidthd, darkstat or even pfBlockerNG (I probably forgot about others), check the forum. Packages should control their own (log) files so things don't get out of control.
But if something stopps working, your disk fills up. And that's bad ....Before upgrading, always look at :
and way better would be : drop down on the command line, and ask your system about drive space , actually partition space, left.
Also, before the actual upgrade : do a normal system reboot, just to put things 'into place'.
In a perfect wold you would look at the console access while pfSense is rebooting, so you can spot any 'strange' messages. -
@Jax Also, check to see if you have unneeded snapshots which could be deleted in System->Boot Environments
-
Yup that ^. If you're running ZFS check for old snapshots.
-
What about /var/cache/pkg ? there's lots in there and some says 24.03
-
@juanzelli
I have 23.09* and 23.05* in System->Boot Environments. I can delete those? -
@Jax I believe you said you were running 24.03 so yes. If you have no intentions of going back to those previous versions, their snapshots should be safe to delete which will probably free a significant amount of space
-
@juanzelli Yes, running 24.03 .. but all that amounted to less than a meg, I think.
Now I'm wondering about /var/cache/pkg which is about 312 Mi
