pfSense Plus Software Version 24.11 is here!
-
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 -
The BE snaps show a lot less than they actually use on the disk.
-
Ha .. wait ... deleting those old boot envs freed up way much more space that I thought it would from the GUI interface .. (I'm in the shell direct as well) ...
So now that I have more space, I can just try to re-run the update?
-
@Jax You can run
df -h /to see what free space is available. I would think you'd have enough now to attempt the upgrade again. -
Updated and running, thanks, friends!
-
@mwatch finally got around to updating, was traveling and other stuff..
Have to say very clean update.. So far everything looks good. Only slight little anything was got warning about another upgrade process running when setting to 24.11. But like it said check back later, so did few minutes later and all good clicked confirm and few minutes later on 24.11
This was my sg-4860. I didn't even bother to uninstall any packages or anything. I did take my backup of config, and download latest copy of the new installer just in case.
I was kind of, kind of ;) thinking will if this goes wrong - forces me to move to ssd install vs emmc. I have one sitting on my shelf and ready to go.. But pfsense is so nicely snugggled into my rack - and don't feel like unhooking everything and taking it out, etc.. ;)
As always great job guys!
From notification emails I got it took this long
08:32:33 System is going to be upgraded. Rebooting in 10 seconds
08:39:28 Bootup completeSo what like 7 minutes.

Yeah, got that too ... what was that?
-
If you go to the upgrade page from the dashboard the upgrade check may still be running. Or when you switch branches the upgrade check against the previous branch may be running. You're more likely to see it on slower CPUs. It's actually not a new issue it's just reported more accurately now.

@delphin_007 : please see this thread if my patch /Work around helps you.

After few home install upgrades to 24.11 running sucesfully, I started to upgrade our company Netgates. Till now no issues in Netgate 1100,7100. Yesterday I tried 4200, where PPPOE is on wan and afte sucesfull upgrade I found, that WIreguard service is not running. There was disable GW to WG server. Did it happen to anyone? After manual enabling gateway I was able to start WG service and everything works, also after reboot.
It is known? Why that happened?
-
The Wireguard gateway was actually set as disabled? In the config?
-
@stephenw10 No, it was normaly working, as gateways was in use. The same thing did not happen on another appliances.
-
Hmm, but it showed as disabled when you checked it in the GUI?
-
@stephenw10 Yes, after upgrade to 24.11 I found that it was disabled. After enabling it started to work.
