      It didn't work even after a full RRD clear through the web interface then rebooting, it continue stopping at "Generating RRD graphs".

      For now I can only boot on 2.2.6.

      Thanks,
      Michele

        Upgrade is done and I'm trying to Duplicate boot slice  in Diagnostics / NanoBSD.
        Clicking on Duplicate and after some time getting an empty page and the following in the log:

        
        Apr 15 09:52:20 	gw.lan 		nginx: 2016/04/15 09:52:20 [error] 43594#0: *16 upstream timed out (60: Operation timed out) while reading upstream, client: 192.168.5.61, server: , request: "POST /diag_nanobsd.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm.socket:", host: "gw.lan", referrer: "http://gw.lan/diag_nanobsd.php" 
        

        I have already tried to do it twice. How I can make sure that duplication is [not] completed without reboot?

          Same problem here. Tried to duplicate the slice and the webinterface timed out. But i saw a running "dd" process even after i closed and
          reopened the webinterface so i think the duplication went ok. But i am not sure.

            @jimp:

            For those who are seeing "Device busy" or similar and unable to force the disk read-write, try the following (preferably from the console):

            umount -f /cf; fsck -t ufs -y /cf; mount -f -o rw /cf

            Not something we'd normally recommend but somehow it seems that just the /cf slice is getting wedged for some people at the OS level.

            Once that is done, set the permanent RW flag on Diagnostics > NanoBSD.

            That worked - thanks a lot!!

            And it seems to also have fixed the endless "Obtaining update status…". Looks like I'm all set.  8)

                I can't get SquidGuard to do a blacklist update. It starts to move the bar and then stops. The screen is reverted to the status before the attempt to load the file.  I have deleted the package and did a fresh install with the same results. No error is reported.

                After a save and checking the Common ACL the Target Rules list does not show the blacklist.

                  My home Alix upgrade went fine - I only use the AutoConfigBackup, blinkled and Notes packages - I do not use RRD graphing and the CF card is mounted r/w.

                  Looking through the upgrade log afterwards I found this towards the end of the log:

                  
                  Misc log:

                  shutdown: [pid 33238]
                  
                  

                  Odd since the CF card has never been used for anything except this machine, I'm assuming that it's just a glitch but it might interest the developers - the rest of the log was fine, no errors and the box is working well - no speed issues.  Yes the CPU does run around 50-100% utilization but it's not a big CPU, it's probably time to budget for an upgrade.  I disabled the RRD graphs about a year ago to lower the CPU load so this is nothing new.

                    I upgraded from 2.2.6 to 2.3 couple weeks back and the overall net performance has been very poor.  Connections to webmail, youtube, google  time out every once in a while.  I have to refresh web pages or apps frequently.

                    I did switch the filesystem to permanently rw mode and I don't generally have any problem with the UI or endless "getting update status…" issue.

                    I don't have any "not-installed-by-default" packages installed and I don't have anything going on the box other than basic routing.  I even moved my wireless AP and everything from OPT1 to LAN and have disabled OPT1 interface altogether.

                    The disabling OPT1 interface did seem to work for first couple of days but now that it has been more than a week I would say it didn't help and the performance is poor.

                    If there anything else I can check, change to at least acceptable performance from the system?

                    Please help.

                      I must be one of the few who had very little issues with 2.3 on Alix 2D13. For the record, I run a 60/10 cable connections, 2 WANs (same cable modem, 2 different IPs), 4 LANs (1 with IPV6), 1 OpenVPN server, 3 OpenVPN tunnels 24/7 (to work and VPN providers), basic traffic shaper (using the wizard with some small tweaks). For packages I have PFBlocker and OpenVPN CLient Export.

                      I upgraded to 2.3 from 2.2.6 without any problems (I was already running in R/W). Performance wise, once I disabled the auto update check, the UI was as responsive as it was in 2.2.x for me.

                      I had an odd issue with Gateway Monitoring where I had to set the payload to 1 instead of 0, but after that it worked. The other day I installed a 2.3.1 Dev build and it also went very smoothly.

                      I have zero problems when it comes to downloads, uploads and latency. I can use my full bandwidth from any of my LAN clients. I'm sure that's all I can squeeze out of that hardware, but so far it is working better than I expected.

                        Just upgraded from version 2.1 to 2.3, somehow if I enable proxy, all the traffic will be directed to https, all my users cannot access a lot of the websites, and my users also could access ftp site eventhough I have opened the port on firewall on LAN port, otherwise all works fine.
