      Just letting the community know that updates to pfSense Plus version 23.01 have been stopped for the Netgate 1100 and 2100 systems while we investigate an issue that affects older systems. We will resume updates as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience.

        The issue appears to lie in older systems having smaller efi boot partitions that are not able take the new (larger) EFI file that is part of 23.01.

        If your system has this smaller EFI partition you will need to reinstall pfSense and restore from a backup.

        How to check:

        Open a console shell (Serial or SSH) or go to Diagnostics->Command Prompt in the GUI.

        Run the command

        gpart show
        

        If your output shows partition 1 being '800K' your system will need to be reinstall with the current release. At this time upgrading to ZFS in the process.

        [21.02-RELEASE][root@pfSense.home.arpa]/root: gpart show
        =>       1  15269887  diskid/DISK-B1D52868  MBR  (7.3G)
                 1      1600                     1  efi  (800K)
              1601     70012                     2  fat32  (34M)
             71613  15198275                     3  freebsd  (7.2G)
        
        

        Larger partitions indicates no need to re-image. This is an example from an 1100 I have installed in the wild:
        7cb57d02-72fd-4102-891d-e55794da4857-image.png

        Anything that was imaged using 21.02.2 or later should have a larger partition.
