Settings blown away after restart
-
I already posted where the log is.
$ ls -l /conf/upgrade_log.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 769795 Mar 19 17:19 /conf/upgrade_log.txtSame thing, nanobsd or full install.

In /conf/ I can find only the "backup" and the config.xml

"setting blown away after restart"
Well - Thats one way to become expert (-:
-
I have similar issue…..settings didn't go away, but my HAVP will go away.....leaving only a "shell" inside pfSense menu.
i.e. Everytime I reboot my machine, the group setting (HAVP group) and some executables are gone, I have no clue at all.... -
Have you tried a wipe, reinstall and reconfiguration by hand?
-
Not yet, but going to do so (since mine is a new box, still testing)
But does it matter with nanobsd? I have only 1G ram + 1G CF card, not sure if this is the issue (maybe disk full so that nothing can be sync?) -
Maybe - There are some guys here with more experience than me in that department.

Are you able to create a file in /conf at all? Perhaps your boot media is damaged to the extent that it's permanently read-only.
If not that then it's not even starting to upgrade so check the main system logs for errors.Steve

I tried to create a file in /conf and I was able to create it. I will have a look at system log once again.

Here is my solution. Purchased a new 60 GB ssd drive, removed the old one, installed the new drive, installed the latest version of pfsense from USB, restored settings and was ready in 1 hour and 10 minutes.

What you did is very sensible. Although, you have denied me the entertainment I normally get watching people jump through crazy hoops for weeks trying to save a couple of bucks. :(
