      Try to upgrade a ALIX.2 from pfSense 2.1.4 to 2.2 (nanobsd i386 4g) with no success.
      Autoupdate and manual firmware upload print "GEOM: ad0s1: media size does not macht label." on the serial console,
      after restart it's pfSense 2.1.4 again.

      Any idea?

      Can I reflash with 2.2 and restore the backup from 2.1.4?

        Yes, though I recommend you use a different CF card so you have the original as a fall-back option.

          My both ALIX has the same issue, when I connect the CF card to my Debian Linux workstation dmesg show:

            Hmm, I believe the correct type is ufs2. However the fact that it seems to be reporting a filesystem that's bigger than the drive isn't good. Re-flashing and restoring the config was the way to go.  :)
