        Can someone test 4g image to see if it's not broken? I had no problems upgrading 2g images, but 4g gives problem.

          Provide the whole upgrade log. The part being quoted isn't the problem.

          We tested the 4GB version more than others, as it's the most common one in use.

              Here's your problem:

              gpart set -a active -i 1 ad0
              gpart: table 'ad0' is corrupt: Operation not permitted
              

              Try this:

              gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr ad0
              

              Then try the upgrade again.

                Thanks, jimp. Missed that perm issue in the log.

                Unfortunately, running "gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr ad0" also results in the exact same error, noting that ad0 is corrupt.

                  I have the exact same issue with same error in my upgrade log on a 2g install on an Alix box.

                  I also had the issue on a 4g install but I opted to flash a new image and swap cards. The 2g box though is 4 hours round trip away so I would love to fix the issue and update remotely.

                  I also had another 4g box that updated just fine. So, 2 out of 3 are broken and would not update with autoupdate or manual update.

                    Other things to try:

                    Set the boot slice on Diagnostics > NanoBSD, see if it actually changes.

                    or

                    gpart recover ad0
                    

                    or

                    sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
                    boot0cfg -v -s 1 ad0
                    fdisk -a /dev/ad0
                    sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0
                    

                    (For fdisk make sure to specify the values it asks and press 'y' to confirm!)

                    We have yet to be able to reproduce this effectively, but several people have hit it. It would be helpful to know some more about the original setup that failed. Was it your own CF or did it come with the device? Had it ever been upgraded before, and if so how many times? What was its original version of pfSense on that CF card before upgrading?

                      Slice does not change; nor I can copy ad0s2 -> ad0s1.

                          I get an Intput/Output error.

                          This is compact flash card. It was installed as 2.0 and then upgraded to 2.0.3 and later 2.1.

                            In my case I had pfSense nanobsd v1.2.3 upgraded to v2.0, that one upgraded to v2.1 - all of them upgraded OK. Now when I wanted to upgrade to v2.1.2, It seems corrupted. I'm preparing a fresly flashed CF card with config already put in.

                              I am having the same issue.  Hopefully my situation will help shed some light.

                              • I have upgraded at least two other NanoBSD 4G (ALIX) system without issue.

                              • Today I am upgrading three identical boxes - ALIX boards running 4G CF card

                              • One existing install was already 2.1 and I successfully upgraded to 2.1.2

                              • The other two were at 2.0.3 and I successfully upgraded to 2.1, but they are both now stuck on 2.1 after auto-upgrade and manual upgrade attempts.

                                Also a side note, I'm not on Alix, but on a Jetway JNF99 with 5 intel nics, Atom CPU and 4GB of RAM, i386 build. The new CF card will carry a 64-bit version this time.

                                  If you're getting an "i/o error" or "device not configured", reboot and try again. At least for the "i/o error" it seems to lean more toward maybe a bad CF but it's still tough to say for sure.

                                  Also worth a try:

                                  sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
                                  fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 ad0

                                    I'm in the same boat with 40 plus devices scattered across 4 provinces. I actually haven't managed to get a single one to upgrade except the 3 in our local offices that I performed a clean install on, 2G and 4G, current versions 2.03 and 2.1 on all remotes attempting auto upgrade and manual firmware uploads. Not sure what to do, since I don't want to risk chopping them up and losing remote connectivity. I don't own a helicopter to get around that quickly  ;D

                                    All Alix boards. Errors in the upgrade log

                                        I'm in the same boat with 40 plus devices scattered across 4 provinces. I actually haven't managed to get a single one to upgrade except the 3 in our local offices that I performed a clean install on, 2G and 4G, current versions 2.03 and 2.1 on all remotes attempting auto upgrade and manual firmware uploads. Not sure what to do, since I don't want to risk chopping them up and losing remote connectivity. I don't own a helicopter to get around that quickly  ;D

                                        All Alix boards. Errors in the upgrade log

                                        fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found

                                        bsdlabel: /dev/ad0s3: no valid label found

                                        shutdown: [pid 24752]

                                        I hear ya about all those remote devices and no time to travel there if there is a problem.  For me if there is a risk of breaking it at a remote site I would send them another firewall box and tell them to swap it when time permits.  This way the new firewall is working at the corporate office with the remote site's configuration file and should work fine when it reaches at the remote site.  Then have them send the old one back to redo for another site.

                                        I know it's a PITA.  Might be good for critical sites that can't go down for any period of time.  Hopefully soon we can get these upgrade issues sorted out.

                                          I have a faulty image in my hands now, hopefully I can track down a solution soon.

                                          Current theory is that it was actually corrupt before the latest update and it just started to show it now, but once I have more time to experiment with the broken CF image I'll know for sure.

                                          I'm certain we can come up with a fix, but it might be something scary like doing a DD of a good partition table to the start of the disk. Not something I'd generally recommend however in theory all NanoBSD images of the same size should have the same partition layout so it may be safe.

                                          In the meantime I'd like to find out if everyone involved here had 4GB NanoBSD images, or both 2GB and 4GB, or even more.

                                            Both 4GB CF for me.
