Successfully upgrade to 21.1
Now attempting final update to get all packages current.
The first attempt hung at downloading #7 readline-8.1.0.txz
Since they where still downloading I left it for ~20min then did graceful reboot.
Then tried again with sensei + surcata off
This time it started with readline-8.1.0txz and downloaded
Now hung again at downloading #5- postfix-sasl-3.5.9,1.txz
I do have functional internet while its hung on update.
System log has
2021-02-18T15:27:22 kernel 842.209109 [1174] netmap_extra_free breaking with head 1734082816
2021-02-18T15:27:22 kernel 842.209078 [1071] netmap_obj_free ouch, double free on buffer 2025
Any suggestions be helpful. Is a VM on ESXi v7
Thanks
Well - I did same again at hung postfix-sasl-3.5.9,1.txz and gracefully rebooted
3rd time a charm..?
It downloaded all remaining packages then extracted the 41. Am now current on 21.1.1
Now going to review if have any post upgrade issues.
Just follow-up. Never did identify why had those hangs. Upgrade to 21.1.1 went smooth otherwise.
Few days later did a upgrade from another Opnsense 20.1 directly to 21.1 (skip 20.7) and then the remaining download / patching to 21.1.1 worked just fine on first attempt.
There is an interactive script in FreeBSD postfix package that used to block the upgrade, but I don't remember when we had this issue other than that is was quite some time ago. We've since removed the postfix script so that it doesn't block the upgrade forever.
Cheers,
