      Hello,
      I have a Netgate-XG-7100-1U

      I have updated from 22.05 to 23.01 using the web ui. The web ui asked for my pfsense to reboot, after the reboot, it seems to be trying to rm old files, however they are read only and it fails ```
      ...
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/vstr-1.0.15_1~91afd7b376.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/php81-pfSense-module-0.91.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/dhcpleases6-0.1_3~580a4e1610.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/liblz4-1.9.4,1~71ccdeee7b.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/liblz4-1.9.4,1.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/libgcrypt-1.9.4_1~9eda680265.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/php81-posix-8.1.11~b8cd84b340.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/iftop-1.0.p4~a6b8be081a.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/php81-posix-8.1.11.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/pfSense-kernel-pfSense-23.01~83c7eda289.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/zstd-1.5.2_1~7183148e4d.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/pfSense-kernel-pfSense-23.01.pkg: Read-only file system
      rm: /var/cache/pkg/zstd-1.5.2_1.pkg: Read-only file system

      It does not boot.
      I already tried to boot into single user mode and run fsck -y / several times then reboot. Nothing came up and it's still failing to boot.
      
      Something weird, mount and fdisk produce no output.
      Here are the logs from the /cf/conf/update files

      23.01 version of pfSense is available
      

      After the reboot, going into single user mode, when I check /etc/version it's still 22.05 ?

      Unfortunately I do not have any ZFS boot environments

        Did the filesystem run out of space?

        I would probably just reinstall clean if you have a config backup.

        Just open a ticket to get the reinstall image:

          Yep the only solution was to reinstall clean and rerun the config. Thank you
