Mount error 19 with upgrade to 2.4.0
-
Running on an APU motherboard
Is there support missing for this device?
related post: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/34120/mountroot: waiting for device /dev/ad4s1a…
Mounting from ufs:/dev/ad4s1a failed with error 19.Loader variables:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad4s1a
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rwAPU was working fine under 2.3.4
sure would like some help.

The disk name probably changed
At the prompt, enter:
ufs:/dev/ada0s1aAnd once it's booted the rest of the way, fix your /etc/fstab for the new names, then go to a shell prompt and run
/usr/local/sbin/ufslabels.sh -
ok, the 1st step worked

Edit /etc/fstab, change ad4 to ada0 on each line
Then you should be able to run it.

Ok, now I am able to boot.

Thanks
Looks a bit like my problem: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=137939.0

Experienced the same problem with 2.4.0 upgrade after doing it through GUI. Not sure why the renaming had to happen like that.

Something apparently changed in the FreeBSD disk controller drivers. The "adX" naming hasn't been used in quite some time, but it used to provide legacy aliases so that the old disk names could still be used. If your OS was installed before the switch to "adaX" disk names then /etc/fstab was pointed to the out-of-date alias name instead. Looks like the knob for "kern.cam.ada.legacy_aliases" which controlled the behavior is gone as well in FreeBSD 11.x
Apparently your disk device name changed long ago, but it was propped up by the legacy code which is now gone, so it wasn't exactly sudden, but it also wasn't made obvious that it was outdated either.
We should be able to add some code to work around that, I opened a ticket: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7937

Had the same issue on a Netgate FW-7541.

At the prompt, enter:
Code:
ufs:/dev/ada0s1aThis allowed pfSense to boot and finish the upgrade, I did see warning about PHP and dynamic libraries but I believe it rebooted as I was once again at the mountroot> prompt. When I issued the ufs:/dev/ada0s1a it told me unsupported file system. I turned the unit off and back on and was able to mount using the previous code.
/usr/local/sbin/ufslabels.shDidn't work for me, gave an error.
I edited the fstab and everything seems to be working fine now, no errors in bootup :D
FYI: I remember how much I hate VI :-\ I installed nano since this unit is a LAB for testing, wish it was installed by default.

Use ee, it's built in.

Thanks for the tip Jim. Accustomed to linux and don't spend enough time with BSD.
After reading issue 7937 I have a quick question. Do I need to run /usr/local/sbin/ufslabels.sh after editing the fstab? Several reboots and so far no issues booting.

If you have drive names in fstab (e.g. /dev/ada0s1a) then you can still run ufslabels.sh to prevent it from being a problem in the future.

Commit changes? (y/n):Reboot and everything is working as expected! :D
I have a LAB environment and several boxes of models we use at productions sites. Generally, before I push an upgrade to a production site I test each of these units here to make sure I don't see any issues. Would it be a good idea to also install an old copy of pfsense (eg. 2.1, 2.2) and then preform the upgrade to current to see if any obsolete setting cause issues in the future?

You can't go straight from 2.2 to 2.4, you have to stop at 2.3 in between. So you can do that if you want, but at the moment we're only testing 2.3 to 2.4.
