ALIX and pfSense no longer compatible!
-
I have a few ALIX Boards and can't upgrade because the upgrade is crashing on different stages. Generaly pfsense upgrade are a nightmare since 2.2.x, so many time upgrades are hanging and i have to drive hundreds of kilometer because the crap not come back!
So i see this in the log even pfsense says upgrade done .. rebooting!

If i watch inside the terminal i can see a bsdtar using cpu while a broadcast say box rebooting!? Is it not finish with extract and system starts a reboot?
Does not mapper if i use pfSense-upgrade -d or pkg-static upgrade -f
It sucks!
-
Box 4 is not coming back! So i have to drive tomorrow again! :-(
On all APU boxes the uprgade is working, only Alix and Nano is not working.
-
I can confirm this problem also.
Also combination of Alix and Nano-BSD, also crashes at the upgrade of python27, same error message.
I also can not access the box remotely any more. I have to drive and get the box …
Besides that I have another major problem, because fetching package data with https does not work. Http does.
-
My ALIX runs out of memory when I try to upgrade any more.
In the upgrade log I see something like:
Child process pid=96756 terminated abnormally: Killed
And then in the main system log there's this:
Mar 11 12:56:43 router.myersnet.net kernel: pid 96756 (pkg), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space
-
If you have any packages installed or extra services active, you'll need to uninstall them or disable/stop them before upgrading in most cases.
It can work fine, I still have an ALIX here that I upgrade with every release, and it never has any problems. But it's not doing much more than sitting around.
-
I just have System_Patches and nut installed, which I assumed would be small. I was also watching the Dashboard even though I was upgrading from the console, which probably didn't help.
I haven't touched the system since the upgrade failed. Is it safe to try again? I'd like to avoid having to remove the motherboard to get at the CF card if something goes wrong, of course.
-
If it happened late enough to be a problem you wouldn't be up and running right now. It should be OK to try again.
And definitely don't watch on the dashboard. Visit Status > Services and shut down anything that isn't critical (nut, ipsec/openvpn, etc) and then run the upgrade from the console.
Though I upgrade mine from the GUI and it's OK.

Thanks.

There is no abnormaly killed but after reboot it's still the old version! I don't have anything open, only the terminal is used.
There must be a way to make upgrades saver because it becomes unuseable if every upgrade brings new troubles. As u can see in the posts there are many people with different troubles when running upgrades!

Wasn't there an issue at one point with them that the upgrade was successful but it just showed the old version? Or was that a dream?

If you connect to the console and manually tell it to boot from the other slice, does it show the new version? If so, does it keep booting the new version after a reboot?

That is one of the reasons we are removing NanoBSD. It was intended to help with issues such as this but it never quite did. Even back when it was first added there were issues and confusion at times which led to it not being reliable, and it never did quite get to where it promised to be. And because it gets run primarily on CF/SD media, some of the failures are bad disks, but some people have a hard time believing that since when the disk is rewritten it sometimes works (because the disk remapped bad spots when fully rewritten), and so on.
