I have a DEC695, I started the upgrade from 24.7.11 to 24.7.12 from the GUI, but it left the router in limbo it seems.
After 45 minutes, the router still hadn't rebooted (up time was 3 days) and many services were down (crowdsec, acme, intrusion detection...), as if it was still doing something. I could ping and ssh, but I could not "su - root" (error was "sorry", that's it, it looked the password was wrong, but I copy-paste it so it definitely was correct.). Also, rebooting from the GUI had no effect. Interestingly, the dashboard was reporting "OPNsense 24.7.12-amd64".
I powercycled the DEC695 and everything seems back to normal, I can su - root again.
Just weird, I thought I'd report it here.
Thanks, the crowdsec mention sounds suspicious as we had previous crowdsec service blocking a reboot. And now it seems to be flapping on and off for some reason since 24.7.12... My main focus is to discern if there is an issue with the code of 24.7.12 that we control (especially the core package) but for the moment that doesn't seem to be the case.
Cheers,
Franco
