      In this next sentence I say Something witty in Klingon …..

      Nice.  ;D

      @strangegopher:

      _That is always the safest way. And with the config recovery in 2.4 should be fast.

      Internal testing of the new pkgs is looking good.

        In this next sentence I say Something witty in Klingon about ZFS boot environments in pfSense 2.4+ as a mitigating factor for contingencies such as this:

        "ZFS nIvbogh be'vam SUPERBORK SeH 'oH alows SoH ghaH nom RECOVER."

        That was one really nice thing about Nano.

        Will be a snapshots a thing in pfSense? Wold be great a auto snapshot before upgrade option, maybe. Config recovery do the job beautifully.

        pfSense:
        ASRock -> Wolfdale1333-D667 (2GB TeamElite Ram)
        Marvell 88SA8040 Sata to CF(Sandisk 4GB) Controller
        NIC's: RTL8100E (Internal ) and Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual (Intel 82571GB)

          It's a ZFS thing, and ZFS is now an install option in pfSense 2.4.

          AFAIK, you can't recover from ZFS snapshots in pfSense just yet.  I'm not sure where that is on the road-map, but if I were King/President/Jesus, I'd make it a high priority.

          I've been anticipating ZFS in pfSense for years and am still giddy when I think about a ZPool vDEV made of 2 flash DOMs.  https://twitter.com/karlfife/status/878833005426561024

          FreeNAS has been doing GUI-integrated ZFS boot environments for a while, and the feature has saved my bacon more than once (especially in remote installs without remote technical hands).  As long as the system comes back up after an update/upgrade, you can pick a boot snapshot (via GUI/SSH–no IPMI needed).

          Yes, snapshots are auto-generated at time of update, and (of course) they each contain a private copy of the config (e.g. usable, non-migrated).

            I just applied the newly available 10/9 build.  It seems to have fixed my broken install.

            That is, my 2.4 remote instance was non-functional, notably had a DHCP server that wouldn't start, but the borked instance retained WAN connectivity.  Just now, it called home to the update servers, which pushed the 10/9 build, then rebooted, bringing the network back to the land of the living.  Nice work gentlemen.

              Too late, totally messed me up. Took about 4 hours to figure out what happened and get things fixed and going again. :(

                    I'm not seeing that error or any other malfunction of dhcpd.

                      Manual upgrade "pkg upgrade -f isc-dhcp43-server-4.3.6_1" and clean chroot env. /var/dhcpd resolve it.

                        Fresh install of the new version and restore from old config.xml has fixed everything.

                            That did the trick for me as well.

                            For developers, I know it's hard to keep up with the changes but this is a case where you could improve greatly. It should not be possible to upgrade your system and be left with an old version of a chroot environment that has the wrong device nodes or other files, every upgrade should clean up expendable content so that the services are started with a clean slate after an upgrade.

                            Edit: I realize now that the real problem was a bad dhcpd binary and the package system didn't include an updated dhcpd package, it actually did but since the version number hadn't changed pkg didn't offer it as an update and the only way to get the fixed dhcpd package was to use pkg install/upgrade -f.

                            You could investigate a possiblity of including a build number into your package version numbers. It's not afaik supported directly by poudriere which assumes that the version numbers are what's in the ports tree and nothing else. A build number would solve a lot of problems similar to this and enable a forced reinstall of all packages regarless of what the version numbers are in the ports tree.

                                Erm… I have a strong feeling that the pre-kaboom snapshots should be taken, released as 2.4.0 and this insane messing should be moved to 2.4.1. WTH is anyone doing changes like this days before release, after months and months of beta testing.

                                        Updating to build 2.4.0.r.20171009.1758 worked like a charme.

                                        pfSense is now running about 12 hours without showing any problems so I'd say "Good work and thank you" to the pfSense Team.

                                            ??? ::) :o

                                            Is there any way to get to consistent system state when upgrading after this grand screw-up, or should I just reinstall altogether?
