2.3_1 to 2.3.1 : appliance dies during upgrade
-
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 :

- 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)

Same issue here, I'm doing a clean install right now. I had no issues for years and 2.3.1 just killed my box. :(
