      Hello,
      I tried updating my pfsense+ on a Netgate 7100 from version 24.11 to 25.07.1.
      On the web page, before the reboot, it says "successful."
      After the reboot, I'm back to 24.11.
      When I look in the system -> environment, I see the warning message on the boot 25.07.1.
      And the default boot stay on 24.11.
      I don't get any particular error messages.
      Any ideas?

        Any ideas?

        Check disk space.
        Remember the most important cable that came with the 7100 ? (The console cable ^^) : connect it, and try to re upgrade using the console menu.
        Tip : have what is shown on the screen also logged to a file for later analyses.

        What probably/might have happened : it booted into the new 25.07.1 "ZFS" environment and it had to succeed within :

        (300 second) and if that's not the case, it boot back into the previous env.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Yes, it probably failed the boot verification check after booting into the upgraded BE. Which means it's not a drive space issue. But you should see an alert on the dashboard if it fails to boot check and rolls back.

          You would need to see the boot log from the new BE to see where it's failing.
