Manual Update Stuck
-
hi there
i have the nanobsd 1GB version running, snapshot 13 juli something. ive tried to upload manual the update file pfSense-1.2.3-1g-20090730-2309-nanobsd-upgrade.img.gz wich has worked. now the box is stucked on the
An upgrade is currently in progress.The firewall will reboot when the operation is complete.
screen with the harddisk image. i can not access any menu and reboot the system per remote.
also there raised an alarm, that the disk was to small and the update was halted. is it not possible to update 1GB flash version? do i need 2GB or 4GB? -
I had the same problem flashing nanobsd by WebUI.
As my router was still responding on ssh and the top command didn't show any active flash write jobs, I rebooted the device via ssh
and then used ssh again to console flash from url. this has worked fine several times now. -
Just tried web upgrade on ALIX 2d3 w/4GB flash card. I got this on the console:
Firmware upgrade in progress... pid 286 (sshlockout_pf), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 344 (tcpdump), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pflog0: promiscuous mode disabled pid 345 (logger), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 463 (lighttpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 958 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 808 (check_reload_status), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) pid 1769 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 790 (cron), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) pid 534 (dnsmasq), uid 65534: exited on signal 11 pid 281 (mpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) pid 785 (miniupnpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 810 (minicron), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 765 (dhcpd), uid 1002: exited on signal 11 pid 889 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 888 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 884 (login), uid 0: exited on signal 11Then it hung forever.

ive tried to do the local update, with serial console attached. tried to download it from url and mount the filesystem in rw mode and download it to /root and put in the path in the updater. always the same. disk size is to small to update….
update not working on 1GB flash cards? -
when I use update from url via ssh my router is connected to the internet and I only paste in the url to the image
for example
http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_7_2/pfSense_RELENG_1_2/updates/pfSense-1.2.3-512mb-20090722-0531-nanobsd-upgrade.img.gzthen pfsense starts the download and after that checks the md5 value. If everything is fine it starts to flash.

I also have problems now updating my nanobsd system via ssh / update from url.
tested with - 7./8. August 09 - 512 MB nanobsd images
Download works fine, md5sum ok but then I get the following message in my system log
php: : New alert found: Upgrade failed due to the upgrade image being larger than the partition that is configured on disk. Halting.
this is strange as I started with a 512 MB nanobsd full install on my alix and recently only used 512 MB images for upgrades - without any problems.
## Update ##
I replaced the rc.firmware file on the router with the latest from cvs and did a re-run.now the message says:
php: : New alert found: Upgrade failed due to the upgrade image being larger than the partition that is configured on disk. Halting. 216 < 218
??? has the partition size recently changed ???
-
If you download the latest 512MB nanobsd upgrade image and "gunzip" it, how big is it?
-
latest image:
pfSense-1.2.3-512mb-20090811-0539-nanobsd-upgrade.img.gz

output of the windows explorer:

size on device 218 MB (229.634.048 Bytes)update:
php: : New alert found: Upgrade failed due to the upgrade image being larger than the partition that is configured on disk. Halting. 216 < 218if the size of the slices has recently changed from 216 to 218, is there a way to extend this slice to the new size?
-
Don't know the answer to that. I suppose you could save off /cf/conf and reinstall. I agree this shouldn't be necessary but perhaps the 512 slice size increased recently.
-
Actually it's no big deal unscrewing my alix and reflashing my cf by PC as I always keep backups of my configuration. I was just happy that this way of updating seemed to be over – not right now as it turned out.
-
Try to reflash from scratch, then attempt another update when a new snapshot is available. I've been having 100% success applying the nanobsd updates manually to my 2GB card.
