Upgrading to pfSense 2.4.5-RC: cannot open /etc/rc.ramdisk_functions.sh

artooro · Feb 4, 2020, 12:31 AM

On a fresh pfSense 2.4.4-p3 installed on a virtual machine with the ZFS filesystem option, I did an upgrade to 2.4.5-RC (2.4.5.r.20200202.1901) in the webGUI. The following error and prompt is seen during the upgrade reboot.

I reverted to a previous snapshot and was able to reproduce the issue.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug, can anyone else reproduce it?

@chpalmer ah sorry, that post misspelled the filename, so it didn't come up in my search that I did before posting this.

@artooro what terminal program is that?

@edz it's not :)
It's a VMware Fusion virtual machine.
Much easier to do testing on VMs where you can do snapshots, and have better performance.
