Version 2.3.4 is available.

@tortue:
Just performed the upgrade via the web interface and no issues here.
Contents of /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf
FreeBSD: { enabled: no } pfSense-core: { url: "pkg+https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_4_amd64-core", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "fingerprints", fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg", enabled: yes } pfSense: { url: "pkg+https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_3_4_amd64-pfSense_v2_3_4", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "fingerprints", fingerprints: "/usr/local/share/pfSense/keys/pkg", enabled: yes }
Thanks tortue!! My pfsense still does not want to show the update. I tried edit directly to the file and upgrade via shell with option 13, but without success. My dns is ok and I can install packages.
I do not know why it does not work !!!

The biggest issue I seem to have with upgrades is the extractions are taking forever. We'll maybe not quite forever but a really long time. Like about an hour. A few individual ones take probably 10 to 15 minutes.
Pretty sure that's not normal.
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz
2 GB RAM
Full install on USB 2 flash drive (idle, so don't think that is the cause)This exact same behavior is reported by FreeNAS users that install to USB drives. Do yourself a favor and put a cheap SSD in there.
Well I doubt an SSD for the interface of that era is cheep. Even HDD for that era are getting pretty spendy. Haven't looked, but pretty sure SSD is not on the table for 2002 era Dell Inspiron 5100 notebook. I'm okay with it as is with the exception of the upgrades extraction taking so long. Other than that it serves me well for home use.
I could throw the other notebook a colleague donated to me at it to see if it makes any difference. It at least isn't ancient.
Since there is very little activity being indicated, I wonder if maybe the USB driver, or something, is somehow blocking? An hour? The entire USB device could be written/copied in less time. I used to make dup copies of 4 GB USB flash drives on this machine in about 7 minutes or so. That was with earlier versions of FreeBSD. The USB driver has probably changed since then.

Check what the mount options are used for the root filesystem on your installation. If it's not using soft-updates the write performance will be absolutely terrible on USB memory.

@kpa:
I used the console update (option 13) this time and everything went fine.
I just used the web gui to update my apu2c4 from 2.3.3_1 and everything went fine. I just need to copy the custom amd cpu temperature kernel modul (amdtemp.ko) to /boot/kernel. After reloading the module (or rebooting the system) the temperatures are reported again.
-
Just updated 2.3.2_1 through the GUI and it said it was going to update to 2.3.3_1 but updated to 2.3.4 instead.
Once it finished, OpenBGP kept restarting every 90 seconds or so.
While looking at the logs I noticed that there were also entries saying that vmWare tools was not running.
Had to reinstall both packages.

Hello,
After upgrade to 2.3.4 it shows
Version 2.3.4-RELEASE (i386)
built on Wed May 03 15:22:11 CDT 2017
FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p16The system is on the latest version.
Platform nanobsd (2g)
Everything is working fine, but why is -p16 and not -p19?
How to update the version of FreeBSD?Tnx

Already discussed here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=129998.0
-
I did everything as well in https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=129998.0 with the same result that is unsuccessfully.
Thx
-
Yeah, I'm pointing out that there's an already existing thread about the issue, no need to duplicate it.
-
I just did the update and it went fine. Only took a couple of minutes but I do have an old Dell desktop with a 50GB HDD and an AMD Athlon 2 x2 B22 with 8GB of ram which is super overkill for what I need it for. It did scare me by retrying to load the interface 4 times at the end of the update but it worked out. I did notice that the processor was running hotter than normal by about 10C but it seems to have calmed down now.
I'm more annoyed that my 35 day uptime streak got broken ;D >:( ::)
-
Just upgraded. No problem! :D :D
Thnx for your excellent work!
Running : c-icap, clamd, dhcpd, dpinger, ntopng, ntpd, snort, squid, squidGuard, sshd and unbound. -
Hi,
Upgaded yesterday. pfSense SG-4860, pfBlockerNG and Snort. Mostly just simple setup.
I had no problems, thanks for developers!
-
Success! SG-4860 upgraded just fine. Reboot took several minutes longer than usual, which of course is normal for an upgrade, but always a bit of a sweat.
Also ran
pfSsh.php playback generateguicert
from the shell to generate a new certificate for that Chrome issue, thanks for putting that in the release notes. -
For some reason the update still isn't showing for me?
I tried rebooting too, no change. Going to the update page too, also doesn't see anything new. ideas?

A little surprised by the device "/dev/ufsid/570dcd05b61eb735". Was expecting something like "/dev/da0s1a".
Looks like it is mounted with journaled soft-updates.
"FreeBSD 9.0 introduced a journaling supplement to soft updates…"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_updates
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/relnotes-detailed.html#FSDon't recall the version at which updates started taking a long time but it very well may have been around the time of leaving FreeBSD 8.x.
Could the journaling supplement to soft updates cause write performance issues for USB flash drives? It's unclear to me.https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/configtuning-disk.html

Could a moderator please split this vein out to be it's own thread. Thanks.

Took the plunge and updated from the last 2.3.3_p1. Worked great, everything came back up don't see any issues so far.
-
I have just upgraded from 2.3.3-p1 to 2.3.4. This time I used the webGUI. The system runs without issues so far.
I use an APU1D4 with a full installation of pfSense on an mSATA. My installation uses the NUT package which "survived" the upgrade without the need of reinstallation or reconfiguration - great.

Hi All,

I have two machines that I updated remotely that are no longer available via openvpn, although they are up and pingable. I use a TAP UDP configuration, and both machines are awake, but fail TLS negotiation. I am using the current Tunnelblick beta.
The relevant error from Tunnelblick reads:
2017-05-07 08:22:20 TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
2017-05-07 08:22:20 TLS Error: TLS handshake failedOh well… There goes my Sunday. :-[

Upgraded my main and backup pfsense under ESXi.
Quicker and smoother than previous times.Good job pfSense Team!

I award this update a solid E. E for Epic fail.
PCEngines APU2, applied update from webui -> fails to boot.
And here I am with all my serial cables at work. Awesome.
Is this one of the "new features"?

I award your update preparedness a solid F. F for fail.
Apparently without even knowing what the issue is you assign blame. Another F.

Update preparedness == I have another router preconfigured.
Apparently without even knowing what the issue is you assign blame. Another F.
Considering that the only change involved here is an update via the webui, I have a fairly good idea as to what broke it…
Took a backup -> rebooted -> ran update -> boot fail.Sure, I'd love to see the console messages, but like I said I won't have a serial cable handy until tomorrow.
Given the almost total lack of disk access, it appears to be failing at the bootloader, or at the very start of the boot process.This thing is supposed to be a network appliance, needing to break out a console cable for a minor point-release is pretty sad...
-
It's not all bad news. Updated 3 APU1's over the last 3 days, without one issue.
Next on the list is a 4860 HA setup… -
My APU2C4 updated to 2.3.4 with no issues, not that this helps you much.
-
Without knowing what is on the console it's impossible to speculate as to cause. You could have a hardware failure that didn't present itself until reboot, in which case the update did nothing.

Locking this. If you encounter problems, please start new threads in appropriate areas of this forum.
