23.05.1 -> 23.09 - PKG is broken - SG5100

On the 5100 if the eMMC fails entirely it can cause problems booting at all. So if it's close to the write-life limit you should fit an SSD as soon as possible.

Thanks for this, I took a look and I'm now properly terrified.

# mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcsd0rpmb | egrep 'LIFE|EOL'

eMMC Life Time Estimation A [EXT_CSD_DEVICE_LIFE_TIME_EST_TYP_A]: 0x0b
eMMC Life Time Estimation B [EXT_CSD_DEVICE_LIFE_TIME_EST_TYP_B]: 0x0b
eMMC Pre EOL information [EXT_CSD_PRE_EOL_INFO]: 0x01

According to the link you gave me:

0x0b
The disk has used 100%-110% of its estimated life time.

I've ordered a new SSD on Amazon, will arrive in the next few days.

If you don't have a bunch of heavy packages installed I'd suggest enabling ram disks to prevent any significant further writes before the SSD is installed. That does require a reboot.

Thanks, done!

@stephenw10 I am experiencing the same problems, but it's a near new 4100 running ZFS. Tried installing 23.09 from memstick (multiple times). Each time I assign the WAN and LAN ip addresses, but the device doesn't appear on the LAN an is not reachable.

You're seeing ssl library or pkg issues after a clean re-install?
