      Hi all  ;)

      I now using pfsense for months.
      When installed, it works great, have nice throughput (my DSL line is at 20Mbps, and I can reach it through pfsense) but for updates I have a big problem, it takes hours…

      Today, I tried auto update via web management, I think it took about 2 hours... (and fail at the end with a package problem, but this is another thing...)

      Now I try to update manualy, and it seem it would not be ready today (see attached file)

      Hardware is Alix 2d3, with LX800 and a 1Go compact flash.
      Initial install speed on compact flash is correct, not very fast but for writting 1Go it take a few minutes...
      Actualy installed version is 2.0 release, trying to upgrade to 2.0.1.. Problem was the same with RC version.

      Before, I was on m0n0wall with same hardware, no problem with updates.

      Any idea ?
      Which other info can I provide ?

      Thanks in advance for your help.

        After a couple of disappointing experiences with Auto Update I've taken to downloading the update files from my browser, verifying the md5sum, and then doing a manual update using the file I have previously downloaded and verified. I have a couple of pfSense boxes so the single download of the update file for both systems has kept me with my manual update procedure.

        I suspect the update process is not very robust when it comes to download errors such as interruption to internet service. It also seems to get into problems if there isn't "enough" free disk space. It could be worth checking if your file system needs a cleanout. (I suspect if you have less than say 120MB free you could run into some problems.)

          Thank you for your help  ;)

          But I already tried auto update, and last time it was a manual update ; in both cases I can't update.

          Since yesterday, the update ran all the night, and this morning I had the message "Update complete". But when I tried to login, the only message was "500 - Internal Server Error". Unable to SSH, too.
          After an hard reboot, I can connect to WebGui but it is still in 2.0 release…

          In other words : I am unable to do an upgrade.

          More details :

          Fresh 2.0 relase install made yesterday on compact flash
          Cron package (the only package I have)
          For disk usage, I am at only 37%. Details :

          
          $ df
          Filesystem        512-blocks   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
          /dev/ufs/pfsense0     906655 309428 524695    37%    /
          devfs                      2      2      0   100%    /dev
          /dev/md0               78812    180  72328     0%    /tmp
          /dev/md1              118492  16536  92480    15%    /var
          /dev/ufs/cf           101055   1112  91859     1%    /cf
          devfs                      2      2      0   100%    /var/dhcpd/dev
          
          

          I think the problem is with the disk, but how can I find exactly what it is ?

          Thank you for your help ;)

              Hi there,

              Some news, I have done others tests :

              Installed fresh 2.0 release on Compact Flash
              Upgraded with AutoUpdate : failed
              Upraded manually : failed

              Installed fresh 2.0 on an HDD
              Upgraded manually : worked ! but very very slow (upload at about 100 kB/sec, all took about 30-60 minutes ?)

              As I can see, I think the probleme is with disk part, perhaps disk controller.

              Other people have an Alix board here ? Or any board with AMD Geode (with Companion chip) ?

              See you

                Before we released 2.0 and 2.0.1 we did many tests on ALIX and similar boards that we have access to. Auto update, Manual update, and Console updates all worked on our test systems. If the update process did not work, we wouldn't have released the updates without fixing that first.

                  That sounds familiar: I have 2 Alix Boxes with both 2.0. Update failed in a similar way as yours on one Box, the other did it right. Update occured without probs.

                  So the only difference was the CF-card. I changed the CF-card on the box which failed and all went great. So older CF-cards seem to blame the system. At all on this one particular box the whole Webif was slow and i had frequent loss to the Webif. After changing the CF it was much quicker and responsive than before.

                  A sideeffect was that i had to update the alix with tinybios .99h. Without that update the new CF didnt start. The alix was stuck in an endless boot.

                  Hope that helps you.

                    Try to updare via console.

                    Transfer full update to pfsense and update from local file.

                    It works very well on normal systems But I do not have an alix box to test it on Cf installs

                      First, thank you all for your help and messages.

                      jimp
                      I think I have gave a bad title to my thread, I dont want to say that pfSense dont work on all Alix, but it dont work good on my actual setup.
                      I really appreciate the work of all people that making this very very good firwall, and all this free. The goal here is to explain my problem, find the solution and, perhaps, improve a future release.

                      It's good to know you are doing test on Alix platform. I was not sure because there are a lot hardware that pf can run on…
                      With compact flash on Alix, do you remember about the time that the update took ?

                      igor
                      Thank you for your answer. I think as you : the compact flash is my problem. But I am not sure if it is only hardware, or the way of software is using it; perhaps is not very efficient..
                      I have done some tests SCP'ing update to my Alix with compact flash :
                      In /tmp/ it is coping at about 1500 kB/s (but unfortunately there is not enough space here...)
                      On /root/ it is copying at about 38 kB/s...

                      Why this huge difference ?

                      Otherwise, I already have the bios 0.99h on my board. I have tested with two compact flashs (both manufactured in 2008) and on the other it is ever worst.. copying as low as 15kB/s....
                      Think I will buy a newer 4GB card.

                      marcelloc
                      Good idea, I have tried this option, without success... after uploading compete (that took a lot of time), the update is done quickly, but when rebooting pfSense is still in 2.0 release.
                      I can post upgrade log if someone can exactract usefull information from it...

                      Last precision, all this was done on fresh install of pfSense 2.0 : no package, only configuration was changing LAN address and enabling SSH.

                      Is anybody has an idea, I can do more tests.

                      Thank's all ;)

                        /tmp is a RAM drive, /root is on CF

                          Thank you.

                          I have done other tests :

                          Old Pentium 4 and one of my compact flash on IDE : same problem
                          Very old Pentium 3 and with the same compact flash : same problem

                          As I can see, the problem is my compact flash cards.

                          On the ram drive, I always have honorable speed (1.5-4 Mo/s, depending configuration) but on compact flash it is always in the range of 10-40 ko/s.

                          I have benchmarked compact flash on Windows, and with medium/large file (larger then 8ko) I can write at 4 Mo/s

                          My topic title is wrong, but I can't edit it.
                          What should I do ? Open a new one? It is normal that on freebsd/pfsense I have very low write speed and with the same card a relatively correct transfert on Windows ?

                          Thanks for you help & ideas ;)

                            Hi ;)

                            It seems that disk access speed does not interest many people….

                            I have bought a new 4Go compact flash at PC Engines, and now update works ! I have reinstalled the old 2.0 and then successfully upgraded to 2.01 via Web GUI.

                            igor , you were 100% right, thanks ;)

                            But the question remains : I have benchmarked the new compact flash at more than 15 MB/s in write, but the upload to pfsense is still at about 500kB/s....
                            I dont know if it is normal, or if it can be improved.

                            Thanks all for your help :)

                              Take a look on this topic, however I don't know how to implement this on compact flash  :(

                                That won't really help CF anyhow. The problem is that the ALIX boards (possibly just with FreeBSD?) don't have proper DMA, so they will be slower even still on top of CF being slow in general.

                                Windows is probably using DMA when talking to the card, so that's why it's faster.

                                Check your boot messages, you'll probably see it like so:

                                ad0: 3815MB <sandisk sdcfh-004g="" hdx="" 6.03="">at ata0-master PIO4</sandisk>

                                  Yes, it is possible, alix boards use very old components (AMD Geode & companion).
                                  I'll check the next time I'll reboot it if it use PIO instead DMA.

                                  Thanks ;)

                                    I auto upgrade PFSense 2.0 to 2.01 successfully. Depending on the number of add-on packages you previously installed before the upgrade, it might take a bit longer to complete. In my case I had to leave it for half a day.

                                    Hardware:

                                    Alix 2D13 with micro drive.

                                      Hi to everyboby. I can't upgrade on ALIX board from 2.0 to 2.0.1 in any way (web interface, command line from URL or local).
                                      Someone can help me? This is the upgrade log… maybe an hardware problem to the CF?

                                      NanoBSD Firmware upgrade in progress…
