      Hi all,

      After having received the 2.3.1 notification, I started the upgrade process a few hours ago.

      Here's all the log I was able to receive :

      At one point ( probably during the glib extraction as it's the last line that was displayed ) :

      • the web interface stopped responding ( eventually leading to a 504 timeout message )
      • the Internet trafic routing was stopped
      • the DNS queries were refused
      • the only thing that was working was the LAN interface ping, and SSH

      :(

      I waited one hour, just to make sure it wasn't related to the upgrade itself, but since the appliance was still in the dark after that, I decided to reboot it  :-\

      It's now running fine and says to be running 2.3.1, but :

      • how can I check what went wrong during the upgrade procedure ?
      • how can I be sure that the system's integrity is fine ?

      ???

      Thanks beforehand  8)
