ditto, thanks @jimp worked for me as well, very fast and painless, slick
'preciate ya!
But, it's probably a good point, I need to do a full resinstall some day, this was installed during COVID ~ Aug 2020 -

This solution is working in my case

Thank you @jimp
I was facing the same error while upgradinginstall: //boot/efi/efi/boot/INS@rMbdew: Input/output error
netgate "pkg-static: POST-INSTALL script failed"After running your commands, pfSense-upgrade had no issue upgrading from 23.09 to 23.09.1

@jimp claude.ai was leading me through the same process but wanted to change to fat 16 instead of 32 because of an error message. I found this thread and asked about -F 32 -c 1 as an alternative. Claude's response: "This is a better approach than falling back to FAT16 since FAT32 is preferred for EFI systems."
Thanks!

Never trust output from LLMs. Especially not when it comes to potentially destructive modifications to your filesystem.

@jimp it was interesting that it came up with almost the exact same solution except for the -c parameter, which suggests it didn't just copy your solution. I find AI brilliant and use it daily in my tech work.

@jimp Thank you very much for this. Worked flawlessly and saved me a 6 hour round trip drive!
