Upgrade to 2.1.2: Stuck on 2.1

I have same issue apparently. No answer. Here's my 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
bsdlabel: /dev/ad0s3: no valid label found
bsdlabel: /dev/ad0s3: no valid label found
tar: Failed to set default locale
tar: Failed to set default locale
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.
-
2 and 4GB for me.
-
Jim,
I have both 2G and 4G nanobsd images displaying this problem.

For those of you that have an issue, show me the output of:
fdisk -p /dev/ad0And note if it's 2gb or 4gb.
If you have a working system of the same size to compare against, show the output from it also.

Those last two are interesting in that they're nearly identical and one works and the other doesn't. I expect some variation as we have, over time, slightly shrunk the NanoBSD slice sizes, but that is a bit curious.
The .img file I read from the CF with the "corrupt" table appears to be OK, despite the CF showing a damaged table. So I'm left to wonder if there may be some other CF-related factor at play.
The following commands could be dangerous so if you choose to attempt them, proceed with extreme caution. I tested these on my own ALIX with a good MBR and it survived, but there are no guarantees. You need only try one of these methods unless it doesn't help, then proceed to the next one.
Method #1: Rewrite the MBR+Partition table with dd
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/tmp/mbr_part_bkup.img bs=512 count=1 dd of=/dev/ad0 if=/tmp/mbr_part_bkup.img bs=512 count=1Method #2: Have fdisk reset the partition table:
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 fdisk -p /dev/ad0 > /tmp/fdisk_bkup.txt fdisk -if /tmp/fdisk_bkup.txt /dev/ad0Method #3: Take a "working" fdisk output and rewrite using it. I can't stress enough that you must make sure the partition boundaries line up, don't grab the fdisk output from a differently sized card:
# Get the "fdisk -p" output from a similar but working CF, save it in /tmp/fdisk_bkup.txt sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 fdisk -if /tmp/fdisk_bkup.txt /dev/ad0After any of those, chances are that no commands will work to reboot the unit, so either pull the power or run the following to force a panic+reboot:
sysctl debug.debugger_on_panic=0 sysctl debug.kdb.panic=1After that has completed, try the upgrade once again.
Obviously that isn't something you'd want to try on a remote unit.
-
All of mine are in remote locations and in production. Can't risk taking them down.
I'll be swapping them out with upgraded (Software) replacements in the next week or so.
Is there value in trying these fixes after that?

It would still help to know if any of the above methods would correct the faulty partition table, so that others can benefit from the knowledge.
-
I should have a couple of those units on hand next week. I'll give it a shot and report back once I've done so.
-
JimP - Should have my hands on one or two of the malfunctioning units in the next few days. I'd be happy to try the various fixes you have proposed, and/or if it would be of more value, I'd be happy to either get you serial access to one or both of them and/or get either CF card(s) and/or dd img dumps out to you.
Would any of the options work better than others as far as getting a 'known good' fix out there?
-
From my post a few entries up ( https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=75069.msg413219#msg413219 ) – I listed them in order of preference (and likely destructive potential!)
So try them in that order, method #1, then #2, then #3 only if both 1 and 2 fail.

I also have the problem in this post and have been following it closely. I am particularly interested in an in-place fix since I don't have an extra CF card or reader to re-flash.
mkomar - in the third line of your post shouldn't there be 2 d's instead of one for the 'dd' command? Maybe a copy/paste error?

Adding my experience to the thread. I am also having the same issue. I am using a SanDisk Extreme 4 GB CF. This is the output for fdisk -p /dev/ad0:
/dev/ad0
g c7751 h16 s63
p 1 0xa5 63 3861585
a 1
p 2 0xa5 3861711 3861585
p 3 0xa5 7723296 102816i have tried recreating the MBR using both the dd method and the fdisk method. Both did not help with a successful upgrade. I do not have a working device that I can copy the MBR so option #3 is out.
Additionally, trying to change the boot slice does not "stick".

Must have been dropped somehow. If it wasn't 'dd' the we would see an error instead of the command output.
I've still got a 'broken' device standing by if someone is interested in finding a reliable on-line fix. In the mean time, I've just done a config backup/restore and replaced the production units.

Since 2.1.3 came out, has this solved any of these problems for anyone? I was going to go for it, but I don't know if that's a good idea - wanted to see what others have seen for 2.1.3
I'm on nano alix 4g netgate

jimp, I've got the same problem on a 4gb CF. Output of fdisk -p /dev/ad0:
/dev/ad0
g c7745 h16 s63
p 1 0xa5 63 3854529
p 2 0xa5 3854655 3854529
a 2
p 3 0xa5 7709184 102816I've tried method #1 and #2, but neither worked. The output of fdisk -if /tmp/fdisk_bkup.txt /dev/ad0 from method #2 is below in case it's notable. I didn't get any errors from method #1, the system just booted back into 2.1 on the same slice. The same thing happened after method #2. I'm also not able to switch the bootup slice for whatever reason.
fdisk: WARNING line 2: number of cylinders (7745) may be out-of-range
(must be within 1-1024 for normal BIOS operation, unless the entire disk
is dedicated to FreeBSD)
******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******This system and CF card have been in stable operation for awhile now and I've successfully installed all the updates from 2.0.1 to 2.1. I never got a chance to install 2.1.1, I've had similar problems attempting to install 2.1.2.
