      "Before starting the upgrade process, the currently mounted nanobsd partition
      needs to be cloned to the secondary partition, where the update will happen"

      => Go to Diagnostic menu => NanoBSD => Duplicate boot slice  - press the green button!

      That should work!

        Thanks for you help.

        But it did not work after following you instruction. Press the green button and wait a while, system did not prompt any message and the screen only display upper menu bar. It's weired.

        BTW:

        I thought the following message telling me pfsense cloned the partition for me?

        Cleaning secondary partition… done.
        Duplicating current slice... done.

        Any idea?

          Exactly the same issue here, running on an ALIX board :/

          Upgrading over SSH doesn't work either…

            Diag>nanobsd, enable permanent rw. Reboot afterwards to make sure nothing's stuck ro. Then try again.

              Hi - I already had Read/Write enabled in NanoBSD settings.

              When upgrading from the GUI - I'm getting exactly the same output as the OP.

              Any ideas?

                      not exact same behavior here…
                      it actually installs but then does not come back up after reboot...

                      does not matter if updated from webinterface or console.
                      2.3-RELEASE (amd64) to 2.3.1 kills the slice.
                      pfsense boot menu shows up, trys to load the kernel, fails and reboots...

                      2.4.1-RELEASE (amd64) on Intel D2500CCE Board Intel Atom D2500 DC @1.86GHz, 2GB RAM, 64GB Transcend SSD370
                      Internet Connection: UnityMedia 200Mbit/10Mbit Cable

                        I have got the same problem with a watchguard firebox.

                        I cannot upgrade to 2.31

                        At the first try, i got the reply that the filesystem is dirty. I have cleaned it.

                        And now everytime I try to upgrade i got the attached mesage at the attachment.

                        Misc log:

                          Hello,

                            The same here …

                            CF 4GB Nano install.

                            I need a workaround to get this fixed.

                            Nobody with a solution for this? Devs?

                              I now have done the upgrade manually:

                              
                              pkg unlock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
                              pkg update -f
                              pkg upgrade -f
                              pkg lock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
                              reboot
                              
                              

                              At the moment I don't have any problems.

                                Mine fails with the following error when trying 'pkg unlock pfSense-kernel-pfSense'.

                                I get 'pkg: Error accessing the package database'.

                                I'm also using a 4GB NanoBSD install - Seems a few others are too.

                                  Is the filesystem mounted read/write?

                                  EDIT: If yes try

                                  
                                  pkg update -f
                                  
                                  

                                  first.

                                    This works fine here, but this is not the final solution, or?

                                      Yes, with the Update to 3.1_1 I had the same problem.

                                        Can also confirm I've managed to upgrade successfully to 2.3.1-P1-RELEASE via SSH.  Before the upgrade I disabled Permanent Read/Write in the web GUI.  Rebooted, re-enabled and the upgrade went smoothly.

                                        ALIX 2C2 with a 4GB CF.

                                        Many thanks

                                          Thanx!

                                          Same problem - fix works, except in the event your mounts are ro, you need to start with /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw:

                                          /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
                                          pkg unlock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
                                          pkg update -f
                                          pkg upgrade -f
                                          pkg lock pfSense-kernel-pfSense
                                          reboot
                                          

                                          Done!  ;)

                                          It seemed to take a lot longer than the UI - but maybe that's because you can see the progress of every pkg.
                                          Cheers!

                                            No it takes longer because of the option -f. I think it should also work without it:

                                            
                                            pkg upgrade
