25.07 upgrade on Netgate 4100 gets rolled back
-
@JeGr I think (?) it tries to check space but it's not uncommon to see posts about failed upgrades for space reasons. Maybe it needs a larger free space check.
We had one client with an old 2440 I recently upgraded through several versions successfully but it's at 94% full because of all the old files and I don't think I want to try 25.11, remotely. :-/
-
Hmm, I agree. Let me see what we can do here.
-
@stephenw10 What would help at upgrades? :-)
I have a 4200 and am having the same problem, presumably. I have pfblockerng installed.
I'm also seeing:
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libmd.so.7" not found, required by "pfSense-repoc"
I have a ticket open at Netgate and they want me to do a USB upgrade. That didn't feel right to me so I started searching and found this thread.
-
Any ideas on this. BTW, my memory: 30% of 3890 MiB on a 4200

That's different, see
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/198754/ld-elf.so.1-shared-object-libmd.so.7-not-found-required-by-pfsense-repocBut too many old config files can be a problem also, sure. How much free disk space do you have?

That's just an ugly error it should not prevent upgrading. If you run at the CLI:
pfSense-repoc-static -Nit should succeed as expected and that's what the upgrade uses. -
Thanks. I also discovered 15,000 files in /cf/conf/backup
It seems I need to clean that up. Is there a limit setting for backups there or is this the pfblockerng bug that was mentioned?
-
@vronp The default is 30 I believe. fixed in 25.07:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/25-07.html#configuration-backendpfB just makes it worse by generating one per cron job (default per hour).
Diagnostics > Configuration History will time out while it tries to delete them all, just refresh every time it does. Or delete manually.

@SteveITS
28% of 3890 MiB
28% of 4.6G (zfs)I also just found 15,000 files in /cf/conf/backup
-
This is a bug. It should be limited to 30 backups there. The bug was that it was only pruning the backups when the user visited the Diag > Backup&Restore page. If you visit that page it will try to prune them. It might take a while if you have 15K files! It;s fixed in 25.07.

@SteveITS Thank you. I'm going to try to run an upgrade again as I'm hoping that the problem described above (copied below) is the cause of my problem even though I only have 15,000 files in that directory.
"The box in question had 121,387 config-<timestamp>.xml files in /cf/conf/backup directory that accounted to around 1.5G in files. But it wasn't the disk space that were the problem but somehow the snapshot booted and wouldn't be able to access /cf/conf or cf/conf/backup because the process that tried to do something didn't succeed as the directory in question had too many files that broke some shell script magic."
-
Yeah it tries to parse all the files in that folder when it runs the config upgrade and has a really bad time! It should be fine after pruning them.
-
@stephenw10 Yep. The upgrade completed without a problem after clearing those files. Thanks all for the assistance!
