Warning: fopen(/tmp/config.lock): failed to open stream: Device not configured

[Derelict]

So I've had a couple hangs on my home system where the disk just freaks out, I got the out of inodes errors, could not read or write to the disk, etc.

After a failure and a power cycle I started getting the message below in the dashboard update check area.

I figured the disk was failing so I backed up the config, replaced the drive, installed 2.1 fresh, and restored the config.

This message in dashboard persists.  "Obtaining update status…" then it barfs this up:

Unable to check for updates.

Everything seems to work fine.  I even made a quick php script doing what the lock function does and it runs fine:

[2.1-RELEASE][root@cox-gw]/root(26): cat test.php
if ($fp = fopen("/tmp/config.lock", "w")) {
                if (flock($fp, LOCK_SH)) {
                        echo "flock success\n";
			fclose($fp);
                } else {
                        echo "flock fail\n";
                        fclose($fp);
		}
}
?>
[2.1-RELEASE][root@cox-gw]/root(27): php test.php
Content-type: text/html

flock success
[2.1-RELEASE][root@cox-gw]/root(28): cat /tmp/pfSense_version
2.1-RELEASE
[2.1-RELEASE][root@cox-gw]/root(30): 

/tmp/config.lock is fine.  I removed it and it was properly recreated.

System->Firmware->Auto Update works fine:

Downloading new version information…done
Obtaining current version information...done

You are on the latest version.

Plenty of space:

All the logs are normal.

Not sure what else to do.  Everything looks fine, except for these error messages in the dashboard.

It's typically a sign of a dying disk. Back up your config, replace the disk, restore, and make sure to clear the browser cache afterward.

Worked for me.
