Pfsense upgrade failed, any way to recover my config?
-
Was running pfsense 2.5
Upgraded to 2.7 thru the web interface today and it worked.
Saw there was a 2.7.2 so I clicked upgrade again and now it says no boot drive detected.SSD works fine in my other machine so I guess the upgrade messed up. (I had a USB drive with pfsense 2.5 installer plugged into the machine so maybe that messed up the upgrade?)
I forgot to backup my configs pre upgrade. Am I out of luck?

You can try to recover the config from the 2.7.2 installer. That is an option during the install.
That requires the existing drive to still have a valid root partition though. -

Thanks. I just saw this.
It didn't work.
Bios recognizes the boot drive just fine so I'm not sure why the upgrade screwed up.I guess now I have no excuse to not setup wire guard instead of just using openvpn

Mmm, might not be possible then. If you had enabled Auto Config Backup that would have it.
