      You haven't even loaded Squid or Snort, not even trying!  :P

      Yes, I agree though, it's not a matter of how many packages you have installed but of actually installing them. Downloading and extracting the package and it's dependencies (now all in the pbi?) uses a lot of space. Somehow during the upgrade there is less space available and the file system ran out in my case. Since the size of /var and /tmp are fixed (unless you've changed them) I can't see how the RAM size has much effect.  :-\

            Which error specifically are you referring to?
            Even if none of us have an answer at the moment it helps to at least document the problems you're having and what you've tried to correct it.

              I am having a similar issue upgrading from 2.03 to 2.1 on an Alix 2D3 w/4 GB card and nano image:

              Both procedures below end up with the following errors:

              
Generating RRD graphs...done.
Updating configuration...............Generating RRD graphs...done.
...Update RRD database wan-traffic.rrd.
Update RRD database wan-packets.rrd.
Update RRD database lan-traffic.rrd.
Update RRD database lan-packets.rrd.
Update RRD database ipsec-traffic.rrd.
Update RRD database ipsec-packets.rrd.
Generating RRD graphs...done.
pid 786 (rrdtool), uid 0 inumber 2050 on /var: filesystem full

/var: write failed, filesystem is full
....done.

              At reboot I get:

              
Enter an option: 
pfSense is now shutting down ...

/var: write failed, filesystem is full

/var: write failed, filesystem is full
Sep 16 18:26:51 lighttpd[33063]: (server.c.1546) server stopped by UID = 0 PID = 1

              Procedures (How I got the errors:)

              1. Auto upgrade using webgui (2.03 -> 2.1)

              2a. Backup 2.03 config
              2b. Wipe SD card; flash 2.1
              2c. Restore 2.03 config

              So it seems that I have no good upgrade path from 2.03 to 2.1 unless I'm missing something. Also, following a 2.1 upgrade, I get following at subsequent boots:

              
Generating RRD graphs...ERROR: No  tag found
ERROR: Incompatible file version, detected version . This is not supported by the version 0003 restore tool.

ERROR: Incompatible file version, detected version . This is not supported by the version 0003 restore tool.

ERROR: Incompatible file version, detected version . This is not supported by the version 0003 restore tool.

ERROR: Incompatible file version, detected version . This is not supported by the version 0003 restore tool.

done.

              Many thanks in any help with this.

                I assume you mean CF card not SD?

                I had those RRD incompatible version errors. They didn't seem to cause much of a problem. I think lost some traffic data from one WAN. Only had it one one boot though.

                  Hmm, may have spoken too soon:

                  
Sep 18 00:00:05	kernel: pid 60237 (rrdtool), uid 0 inumber 4091 on /var: filesystem full
Sep 18 00:00:04	kernel: pid 59098 (rrdtool), uid 0 inumber 4084 on /var: filesystem full

                  Time to increase /var perhaps.

                        Hmm, odd. You hadn't chosen to use a ramdisk for /var?

                            Has anyone found an answer to this, i'm in the same boat as NetVicious, except I have a 236GB Hdd i'm running the firewall off with 4Gb ram, i'm to scared to reboot as my whole network uses this firewall, its currently My internet connection, and bridges 3 networks together, Cant run the WEB gui, i get Fatal error: Unknown: apc_fcntl_rdlock failed: in Unknown on line 0 the Firewall monitor is also saying something about the Hdd's Inode's hard drive formatted incorrectly? not sure.
                            Any one fixed it?

                              I fixed the errors I was seeing by expanding /var from 60 to 80MB. Your problem looks bigger than that though.

                                On my Alix I did not find a solution. I finally reflashed my compact flash card with a fresh pfSense 2.1. I've described this besides other experiences in this thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,68531.0.html.

                                As my WLAN card remains dead after upgrading I am currently forced to stay with pfSense 2.0.3.

                                  Can you tell me how? I have the same problem. It raises when I configure IGMP Proxy on a clean install of 2.1.
                                  When I delete the two gateways, everything runs normal….

                                    There's an option to do it in System: Advanced: Miscellaneous:
                                    You have to reboot to see the change.
