Is nanobsd web-based upgrade supposed to be working now?
-
More information
"latest.tgz" is a tar file (Duh!), but I can't understand why "dd" would be used to copy it to slice2 of the CF card:
NanoBSD upgrade starting dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0s2 bs=1m count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1048576 bytes transferred in 0.444509 secs (2358953 bytes/sec) /usr/bin/gzip -dc /root/latest.tgz | /bin/dd of=/dev/ad0s2 obs=64k 191654+819 records in 1501+1 records out 98416640 bytes transferred in 26.344876 secs (3735703 bytes/sec) After upgrade fdisk/bsdlabel /sbin/fsck_ufs -y /dev/ad0s2a Can't stat /dev/ad0s2a: No such file or directory Can't stat /dev/ad0s2a: No such file or directory /sbin/tunefs -L pfsense1 /dev/ad0s2a tunefs: /dev/ad0s2a: could not find special deviceIt would appear that the desire here is to have just one upgrade image ("latest.tgz") regardless of CF card size. Without knowing more about the intent and goals of the developers, I can only guess. Perhaps a better approach would be:
Remake the file system on slice 2. No "dd" zeroing out of the slice. newfs should just do the right thing regardless of CF card size. Then untar latest.tgz into the newly made slice2 root. Obviously if you're booted on slice2 all of this would happen to slice1 instead.
I think this explains why the upgrade works for those that download the appropriate image from http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_7_2/pfSense_RELENG_1_2/updates/ and apply it manually through the web interface. Those are disk images.

Yes, manual update from the correct disk image works perfectly ;D:

I don't get it ??? … I'm probably to stupid :P
I have also the alix with a 2GB CF card wit 1.2.3-RC2 (built on Thu Jul 23 17:25:52 EDT 2009) and tried to flash the lastest.gz from http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_7_2/pfSense_RELENG_1_2/.updaters from the web menu manual firmware upgrade (it didn't work).
@gloomrider: Can you make a step-by-step manual, only short, which file to download, updgrade in console?, or manuel firmware upgrade from the firmware menu...
Many thanks!!!!
-
If you attempted to upgrade using "latest.tgz", this likely wiped out your partition table on slice2. I can't be certain subsequent attempts to upgrade will be successful.
For a 2GB card, you'll want this file:
You can always find the latest upgrades at http://snapshots.pfsense.org
After you have the file downloaded, use the "Manual Update" tab, "Enable Firmware Upload", browse for the file you downloaded above and click the "Update firmware" button.
But like I said, you may have wiped out your slice2 in which case, you may not be able to upgrade at all. :(
-
It's a beautiful thing. I was able to capture the entire upgrade process. The log is attached. For those of you (like me) who didn't really understand what was going on under the covers, this should reveal much.
Now if only auto-update worked this well! ;D
-
I have tried this exactly as described in the posts above and it seems this is not working for me somehow. I'm running an ALIX board with 3 NICS and an internal wireless card. This is what I did:
- Completely erase the CF Card
- Write "pfSense-1.2.3-4g-20090819-0545-nanobsd.img" to the card
- Logon to the webinterface and upload my latest backup
- The firewall reboots (clean build, only config restored)
- Logon to the webinterface and navigate to the manual update page
- Upload the following file: "http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_7_2/pfSense_RELENG_1_2/updates/pfSense-1.2.3-4g-20090821-0842-nanobsd-upgrade.img.gz"
Now, the firmware in progress animation is displayed until you manually reboot the device. I can leave it running for 24 hours and still nothing happen. Upgrade log only shows:
pfsense:/conf# tail upgrade_log.txt NanoBSD Firmware upgrade in progress... pfsense:/conf#Only thing I noticed is that the new Nano-BSD upgrade files are *.gz and it looks like all the systems expect a *.tgz, in the upgrade_log.txt Gloomrider posted it also shows a "/root/firmware.tgz" file? ??? I'm confused now, am I supposed to upload a *.gz or *.tgz??
-
".tgz" is a gzipped tar file. This makes sense for "upgrade.tgz" as it's basically a tar image of the root file system. "firmware.tgz" is another matter as this is actually a disk image that is sized for the specific CF card. These naming conventions are a bit of a nit. "firmware.tgz" should actually be "firmware.gz", but it doesn't break anything the way it is.
The log that I posted I got from the serial console. Before I did anything, I attached to the serial console, typed "8" for a shell prompt, then typed "tail -f /cf/conf/upgrade_log.txt". If you have never upgraded this file will not exist. Perhaps you could do something like "touch /cf/conf/upgrade_log.txt" before you begin. Now download the upgrade image then upload it to pfSense through the manual web method. As soon as the upload is complete, you should start seeing stuff written to the log.
It's crucial to begin "tailing" the log before you begin the upgrade.
Hope This Helps

Hi Gloomrider,
Thanks for your reply, that clears up about gz vs tgz.
Unfortunately that does not change the situation, when I write pfSense-1.2.3-4g-20090819-0545-nanobsd.img snapshot to my 4GB compact flashcard all is running fine. Next, I use the console update or the manual firmware upload on the webinterface to load "pfSense-1.2.3-4g-20090821-0842-nanobsd-upgrade.img.gz".
At this point nothing happens, I can leave it running for 24 hours but the firmware does not update. The update log file only shows the lines I posted.

-
This all looks fine. Are you able to attach a serial cable? Are you certain you're "tailing" the log before you start uploading the upgrade file through the web GUI?

I've flashed the latest image onto the card now and it is working. When the next snapshot is released I will connect the console cable and post what happens on the console. Would I need to start "tail" on the console or will just the console output do?
Ow, just for fun I tried an upgrade to "pfSense-2.0-ALPHA-ALPHA-4g-20090821-0521-nanobsd-upgrade.img" and that worked fine. As this is still alpha I'm now back on 1.2.3-RC2.
-
Yes, if you use the serial console to watch the upgrade, you would want to "tail -f /cf/conf/upgrade_log.txt" before you upload the upgrade file through the GUI. The nice thing about doing this through the serial console is you also get to watch which slice it boots from.
-
It could have been something with the previous snapshot. This update succeeded ;D ;D ;D

Yes, 6.5 minutes of worrying that I might need to open the case again :D The CF controllers on ALIX boards don't seem to be very fast :-) So what do I do now? Do I need to copy Slice2 to Slice1 or just leave it like this? What happens if I invoke the next upgrade? Does it then upgrade Slice1 and the set that one active and reboot?

UPDATE2:
After duplicating Slice2 to Slice1 the ls -l /dev/ad0* seems okay again. Fdisk is still reporting only 1 partition and an invalid parition table?? ??? ??? ??? ???

Interesting. The log output shows the update seemed to work as expected. Just curious, did the update not work, or are you just concerned with what fdisk is saying?

The update worked fine, I'm running the 26th snapshot now. No issues whatsoever.
But the experience with this Fdisk output tells me the next upgrade will fail ::)
Could someone please briefly explain the differences between slices, partitions and the /dev/ad0* files and how they relate to each other? ???

There was a new 4G snapshot posted yesterday. Have you tried it?
Edit: Oops, you're running that. FYI: /dev/ufs/pfsense0 = slice 1 and /dev/ufs/pfsense1 = slice 2. You should try running fsck on the slice you're NOT running on.
/sbin/fsck_ufs -y /dev/ad0s1a -
Got this now:
