Upgrade fails on Alix 2D13 (SOLVED)
-
I tried few times to upgrade from 2.1 but I keep getting this error:
php: config.inc: New alert found: Something went wrong when trying to update the fstab entry. Aborting upgrade.Im using a 4GB CF card and this is my fstab
cat /etc/fstab /dev/ufs/pfsense1 / ufs ro,sync,noatime 1 1 /dev/ufs/cf /cf ufs ro,sync,noatime 1 1 -
It doesn't help you, but as a feedback to the devs: I had that problem as well with my first CF-card.
It was a 4 GB CF, and I tried 4G/2G/1G images. The 4G told me it was too big, 2G and 1G failed with the fstab-issue.Now I used another CF and installed from scratch (see my other thread).
Good luck, Stefan

In this case the fstab to which the error refers is the fstab on the target slice, not /etc/fstab on the running slice. Post the full upgrade log, something else might stand out that is more relevant. Odds are though, it's no the fault of the image but of the CF itself.

Thanks for the replies. Can you remind me where I can find the upgrade log?

Diagnostics > NanoBSD. There is a button there to view the log.

I think this is the relevant part:

Reimage entirely or replace the card.

Reimaged, restored my config and everything is good.
Thanks.
