Is nanobsd web-based upgrade supposed to be working now?

What output does this command give?:

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?

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.

As you can see in this thread, my first successful upgrade attempt was August 9th. Prior to that, I was just reflashing every time a new snap appeared on the server. Perhaps at some point the size of the disk images changed and I never noticed it because I was reflashing the whole CF card. This is all speculation of course, but it might be useful to reflash (this is where multiple CF cards come in handy) and wait for the next snap, attempt an update and see what happens. I haven't had any issues since 8/9 and I have updated with every new update on the snapshot server.
-
10-4 Gloomrider. I have multiple CFs and reflash regularly when an update comes out and I am unable to update via the gui or the console. I just have not had any luck with this yet. I settled on the 2gig image since it looked middle of the road and that my cf card is 4gigs. It formats just under that size so I was worried that the 4 gig image/dual partitions would not exactly fit. I thought things were looking up when you and the other gentleman were successful in upgrading but no, I am still reflashing:(
-
When was the last time/snapshot you reflashed? It would seem only manual update is working. I think auto-update is still trying to use the old embedded (AKA broken) paradigm.
Nanobsd images that I download from http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_7_2/pfSense_RELENG_1_2/updates are updating fine for me.
EDIT: I wonder if the fact you're using a different size card has anything to do with it? Why don't you try a 4GB image on your 4GB card?

Check out this thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,18805.0.html
This looks an awful lot like what you and others are reporting. I have been using "dd" under both Linux and FreeBSD to flash my 2GB Sandisk cards and I've not had any of these problems.
EDIT: It appears there are subtly different sizes of CF cards. See this post: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,18805.msg96698.html#msg96698

Hi,
running embedded since longtime. Now I wanted to switch from embedded to nanobsd, because reflashing, resizing and move rrd's from time to time sucks. First, what I learned: no more WRAP. No problem have ALIX'es too. Also read about bigger Memory nedded. No problem, have plenty of 1GB CF.
But I spent hours to test the Update mechanism. Not one success. Fails anytime. Manual, Auto, Console. I thought I have FreeBSD experience since Years. But no Idea what is going on here.
at the moment I test from pfSense-1.2.3-1g-20090824-1854-nanobsd
Option 13
Enter the URL to the .tgz update file:tgz?
It is http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_7_2/pfSense_RELENG_1_2/updates/pfSense-1.2.3-1g-20090828-0527-nanobsd-upgrade.img.gz
nope is img.gz…

<ironic>Now it's third class...?</ironic>No, to be honest, there seems to be a lack of testing. Even the the graphical part "firmware upgrade in Progress" is off the Center. And stays also after failing. I can not find out if I test alpha or beta?
With over 1000 reads, this topic seems to be well watched...

Just a note, I was able to successfully upgrade a pfsense 512MB cf to the latest snapshot, using manual firmware upgrade. went flawlessly, which is good, because its a remote location (non critical, just for testing).

this means:
Download from URL or local File? Or maybe WebInterface?
From pfSense-1.2.3-512mb-20090827-1405 ?and the File was pfSense-1.2.3-512mb-20090829-0427-nanobsd-upgrade.img.gz?
I think i will try this with another size than 1gb.
