ERROR: It was not possible to identify which pfSense kernel is installed
-
It's possible it did. Turn off RAM disks and see if your pkg info list is back. If so, then you might be safe in activating the option again from that point.
But if you turn off RAM disks and they don't come back, you'll have to reinstall
-
RAM disks was already turned off since my beginning of 2.4B on ZFS.
(at that time I had to, otherwise was no ability to update via GUI)So… I will reinstall when THE 2.4 comes out. Anyway thanks for your response.
-
Actually you could reinstall the packages to get back to a good state:
pkg install pfSense pfSense-base pfSense-default-config pfSense-kernel-pfSense pfSense-rc pfSense-repo pfSense-upgrade -
So what's up with this pkg db corruption? Only happens with RAM disks?
-
Until a week or so ago there were some corner cases like ZFS where the difference in how/when the disk was mounted stopped the code from working as expected.
On current snaps it should be OK all-around.
-
OK, thanks. ;)
