      I appreciate the feedback, but had to fix the problem within a very narrow time frame (happened on a customer deployment); the idea of gitsync'ing did not occur to me (and when it happened, there was no indication on the forum threads that it had already been fixed, so a rollback really seemed the safe choice then).

      I am really thankful for the work you guys have been putting on this, and - on top of that - that you still have time to offer support on the forum: amazing!

        I shall start coming here first and checking. Then proceed with caution,

        Perhaps there should be an open Red Alert Thread.

        Totally hosed one box, could not go forward or backward  ::)

          The new snapshot is up now, so it's sort of a moot point.

            Yeah right - until the next gotcha  ::)

            Is this the "good" snapshot?

              Welcome to snapshot land. If you don't want to take risks, run the official RC1 image and not snapshots. :-)

              Looks like that's the one.

                nice plan but the bad build was built on Thu Mar 3 17:43:05 EST 2011 and this thread was opened on Friday Mar 4 at 03:19:57 am…

                http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,33905.0.html is another fun experience for me and some others. I posted that at 12:13am but since I was so tired when I did this, the post is a little hard to read.

                But many thanks to Jimp. Many enterprise firewall providers would not have found and fixed the problem as quickly as you did. Kudos!

                  I had to roll back to the signed RC1 tonight on my home Alix as I upgraded this morning and had the same issues.  It's bad when my Alix is blinking SOS at me.  From now on I'm only testing on my office's spare router.

                    That is pretty brave to be rolling out RC's to customers…

                      From the RC1 announcement:

                      "This is considered a stable release suitable for production use, as we’ve already widely deployed it over the past several months in beta and upgraded numerous systems to RC1 over the weekend. This is the preferred version for new installations at this point."

                      Also, they actually need some of the new features in 2.0.

                        I think we all know that RC really means we are getting close and we want to entice a few more people  to help with Beta Testing the product.  :)

                          I don't have any problem with that, and never complained about the (few) bugs we've encountered on our half a dozen 2.0 deployments so far (as mentioned, for customers that had needs addressed only by the new version); my original reply above was just meant to offer an additional way to recover from the bug in this particular snapshot.

                          I've been dealing with computers since the Apple II, and have to tell you: if every single piece of software on these past 30 years had been as reliable as pfSense, I'd certainly have fewer gray hairs today  :)
