Ah OK. Well that was a pkg issue and in the development version specifically. It would have affected you whether or not you upgraded the pfSense version.
But if you're running ZFS you can create a BE at any time and roll back if a package update has issues for you.
The point is that it should have never been released. There's no way adequate testing was done. It caused my Netgate to become unusable and I had to restore everything from backup. That's not how things are supposed to work.

It was an update to the development version of the package. But, yes, we should have caught that failure.

@stephenw10 if Squid fixed the major issues with version 7 is the Squid package going to still be supported ?
-
Probably not. But anything's possible.

@stephenw10 I am in the process of backuping up to upgrade.
As per instructions I backed up XML files
(screenshot below) and somewhere here it says "BE backup" - how do I do this? BE is probably boot environment?
And in the instructions it says make sure you have enough space (in case of ZFS) since it retains previous environment. Here is my screenshot: Should delete any of the ones below?
Are there any other backups I must take before upgrade from 24.03 to 24.11? Please advice.
-
The ZFS upgrade process will automatically create a new BE when it runs so you shouldn't need to do anything there. But you can create new BE yourself if you want to, just use the 'quick create' button.

@stephenw10 What is this message?
"Another instance of pfSense-upgrade is running. Please try again in a few moments." -
@netboy Tried after some time - SUCCESS!
Approx 12 minutes for upgrade from 24.03 to 24.11 - Upgrade went smooth. If there are issues shall report
-
If you have a 2100 with a mpcie to NVMe adapter the software won’t update because the driver for NVMe causes issues during updates, but I think I am the only one that has a NVMe in a 2100 by way of an adapter.
-
@JonathanLee I do not have an NVMe

You can delete any version or snapshot you no longer want to go back to. Eventually you’ll need to so you don’t run out of space. Ignore the “size” there it’s misleading. See https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/filesystem-shrink.html
