2.4.4 Upgrade was uneventful
-
Same here. I had updated yesterday morning to the RC, and within a few hours, I saw that the RC had been upgraded, so I went though with it. Took a bit of time for the system to settle down, as my memory usage was high at 35%, but this morning I logged in and noted it was sitting comfortably at 13-16%.
Fast upgrade for both of them, never unresponsive. -
@jwj Identical upgrade experience except with Snort.
-
@Blade-Runner What's up with Snort? I plan to upgrade from 2.4.3p1 to 2.4.4 on Saturday, but I have Snort running as an essential security point.
-
I too, had no issues with upgrading from 2.4.3p1 to 2.4.4 and system seems to be operating okay. I uninstalled pfblockerng_devel, nut and suricata before upgrading as per the long standing, normal, pFsense upgrade rules and let it reinstall the packages that I uninstalled. Everything reinstalled with no issues and is working.
-
@jdeloach So you 'd recommend uninstalling pfBlockerNG and Snort before the update? Will the settings be preserved if I reinstall them after the upgrade?
Any other packages which are recommended to be removed before the update? I had no issues yet with updating the system without removing packages before.
I will of course make a Snapshot of my VM before I try any upgrade action ;-)
-
My upgrade was uneventful until I rebooted now I can only get into my netgate 3100 thru the serial port I am sure I will get it figured out
-
@jacotec My post was not specific. I didn't have any upgrade issues. Snort was uninstalled and re-installed without issues.

The settings are preserved if the appropriate box is checked in each package. In the past as far as I can remember, the recommend way to upgrade pFsense has ALWAYS been to uninstall ALL installed packages before performing the upgrade and let the system reinstall the removed packages. I don't think this has changed and I noticed @jimp also posted this in another post yesterday. I would do this since most of the issues with this upgrade seem to be with php changing from version 5.6 to version 7.2.
-
Uneventful for me as well. I listened to the advice on uninstalling all packages first, then re-installing after the update was complete. There was a minor hiccup with NUT finding the attached UPS, but after powering down both Pfsense and the UPS, and bringing back up, issue solved!
-
I'll add myself to this list as well. Upgrade went without issues on a PC running CE and my SG-1000.
-
I guess I've been living life on the edge. I have never uninstalled packages before upgrading including this latest update. nut, suricata, pfblockerng, squid, ntopng, backup, sylogng, openvpn client export, all seem to have updated fine and are running smoothly.
-
I had no issue on upgrading very smooth some of old problems on dashboard has been solve from 2.4.3p.
