      Hi

      I tried upgrading 2.4.4_2 to the latest stable via the UI but it failed twice, with

      pkg-static: https://pkg.pfsense.org/pfSense_v2_4_4_amd64-core/All/pfSense-kernel-pfSense-2.4.4_3.txz: Operation timed out
      Failed

      I note it said :
      Number of packages to be upgraded: 13

      The process will require 6 MiB more space.

      But there is plenty of space according to the dashboard.

      Disk usage:
      /
      8% of 13GiB - ufs
      /var/run
      3% of 3.4MiB - ufs in RAM

      After reading https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/upgrade-troubleshooting.html I changed the branch to be nightly, then back again to stable.

      This time the upgrade seemed to work, but on rebooting the dashboard says:

      Version 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2 (amd64)
      built on Wed May 15 18:53:44 EDT 2019
      FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p10

      Version 2.4.4_3 is available.
      Version information updated at Fri Jun 14 10:53:22 BST 2019

      But on the Update page it says:

      Current Base System
      2.4.4_3
      Latest Base System
      2.4.4_3
      Status
      Up to date.

      Confused!
      Any ideas?

        Worst case take a Backup and clean reinstall 2.4.4-p3 with the Recover config.xml Option: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/backup/automatically-restore-during-install.html
