Now Available: pfSense® Plus 25.07-RELEASE

[stephenw10]

Ah, already reported in 2.8: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/16232

Looks like an easy enough fix though. Patch incoming....

[stephenw10]

Ok this works for me: 175.diff

It's a very simple (one character!) change so you might just manually edit the file. Let us know if you're able to test that.

Just tested the patched pfSense-rc on our spare unit.

/etc: diff pfSense-rc.org pfSense-rc

< SWAPDEVICE=/bin/cat /etc/fstab | /usr/bin/grep swap | /usr/bin/awk '{ printf $1 }' | /usr/bin/head -n 1

SWAPDEVICE=/bin/cat /etc/fstab | /usr/bin/grep swap | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $1 }' | /usr/bin/head -n 1

Works like a charm:

I'm planning to upgrade, but still on 24.11 and I have ZFS mirror with GEOM mirrored swap, would this problem affect my system or is it just for systems with multiple separate (non-mirrored) swap partitions on the both drives?

[stephenw10]

Try running the new command in 24.11: /bin/cat /etc/fstab | /usr/bin/grep swap | /usr/bin/awk '{ printf $1 }' | /usr/bin/head -n 1

If that returns a valid device it will be fine in 25.07.

Either way it won't prevent you upgrading. And you should just be able to apply the patch afterwards to regain SWAP. If you need it.

@stephenw10
It returns "/dev/mirror/swap" so guessing it should be ok.
Never had pfSense using any swap, but better safe than sorry... :)

[stephenw10]

Yup should be fine.

As expected, also works just fine on 25.07.1-RELEASE.

Is the SG-3100 a still supported device? Just bricked one of ours updating 24.11 -> 25.07.1 - notice the "unsupported platform" message from the update log.

Scratch that last post. The problem was related to +30k backup config files as noted in other posts.
Problem solved unit on 25.07.1 now. Will clear the directory before doing our other units.

[stephenw10]

Yup it's only the boot code update script reporting that there. The 3100 is EoL but 25.07(.1) does still support it.

All,

On my SG5100 just upated to 25.07.1 over the weekend. No issues. It uninstalled and re-installed one package automatically. Otherwise I did nothing else.

To be clear, my setup is fairly simple.
