Snapshots are back!

rcfa

Are they stable enough now for home use, without crashing or any major problems?

Basically, yes, but if you depend on specific packages or features there may be the one or other thing not working as expected.

Since we moved the builds to a blazingly fast new box, I went ahead and enabled nanobsd+vga builds for each snapshot run. enjoy!

Is your blazingly fast new build boxes dumping update files to a new location also? Reason I am asking is that I have an IPv6 only firewall that cannot get to update. Some troubleshooting shows that snapshots.pfsense.org is not resolving a AAAA record.

jimp

Yeah the snapshots site moved to our colo at NYI (the builds are done in yet a different place), the NYI site doens't have IPv6 yet, but will soon.

N00b question but still, what windows program should I use to burn the 4g image to my ssd?

jimp

It's on the wiki, but either physdiskwrite or win32 disk imager.

Thanks :)

jimp

AAAA is back for snapshots.pfsense.org so getting updates over IPv6 will work again.

podilarius

Thanks. That is good news.

Wow, it's that I need, thank you!

Where should I look for changes in these snapshots? In here ?

jimp

There and also here: http://redmine.pfsense.org/activity

Hello

I am on a clean 2.0.1 (i386) and try to update to 2.1. Enabling development repo, and allowing unsigned images.

When done it says:
The image file is corrupt.
Update cannot continue

Should it be possible to upgrade using the GUI? Or is something else needed for first time upgrade to 2.1?

That should be enough.

It's possible your system is downloading a bad or corrupt image somehow (perhaps a proxy or something else in between?)

If it's still giving the same message after a new snapshot run (check back tomorrow), start a fresh thread for the issue.

Tillebeck

Will do, thanks.

are there 64-bit builds? I'm looking for a nanobsd to run from USB but all I see are i386. Possibly I'm missing something.

jimp

There are separate links for i386 and amd64, but all are under http://snapshots.pfsense.org

e.g. http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_8_3/amd64/pfSense_RELENG_2_1/?C=M;O=D

Thanks! Hey, look at that. Right there in the body of the OP. Sorry for the momentary illiteracy.

Hi jimp,

I am experiencing issues reaching snapshots.pfsense.org from last two days:

Maybe it can be a temporary / network issue?

And I just had a crash…
I sent crash report from my box 2 minutes ago.
Can someone please check it out and let me know what went wrong?

Many thanks!
