      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?

                  No flash drives, no ram disks here:

                  devfs on /var/dhcpd/dev (devfs, local)

                  [root@xxx]/root: df -h

                    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.
