      Hi Guys,

      This is my first post so please be gentle.
      I'm a bit of a noob to pfsense so apologies if this is a stupid question.

      My hardware is an Alix with Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by AMD PCS .

      When I run the web GUI update is fails so I ran the CLI update and it gives me this error.

      ….>>> Updating repositories metadata...
      Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
      pfSense-core repository is up-to-date.
      Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
      pfSense repository is up-to-date.
      All repositories are up-to-date.
      **** WARNING ****
      Duplicate slice required!!

      Before starting the upgrade process, the currently mounted nanobsd partition
      needs to be cloned to the secondary partition, where the update will happen

      After installation a reboot will be required to switch partition.

      Proceed with upgrade? (y/N) y
      tee: /cf/conf/upgrade_log.txt: Read-only file system
      Secondary partition (/dev/ufs/pfsense1), used for upgrade not found

      I did a quick google and there was some talk of the filesystem not being read write even though the GUI shows.

      NanoBSD Boot Slice pfsense0 / ada0as2(rw)

      The Diag-> NanoBSD page shows.

      Read/Write status
      Read/Write

      I hope you guys can help as I would really like to upgrade my box.

      Tom

            (Duh - it's in your subject. Didn't see it there sorry.)

            I have seen a case or two where nano gets confused about which mode it is actually in. What happens if you run this from the console/ssh?

            mount -u /
            pfSense-upgrade -d

              Hi,

              Still no good.

              tee: /cf/conf/upgrade_log.txt: Read-only file system
              Secondary partition (/dev/ufs/pfsense1), used for upgrade not found

              mount gives.

              /dev/ufs/pfsense0 on / (ufs, local, noatime, read-only, synchronous)
              devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
              /dev/md0 on /tmp (ufs, local)
              /dev/md1 on /var (ufs, local)
              devfs on /var/dhcpd/dev (devfs, local)

              If I use the command /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw it doesnt change it from being read only.

                Gave up and rebuilt it in the end. Then restored my config from backup. Whole process took 30 mins after my CF card reader arrived.
