Title: Upgrading via OPNsense-importer hanging at 99% Cloned, 79% Overall
Post by: dfw3xam1n3r on February 04, 2026, 05:26:54 PM
Was curious if anyone has experience with upgrading to 26.1 via the importer method on a QEMU/KVM VM.

I took a VM snapshot to revert if needed, upgraded via the importer method using attached ISO, it gets through the process and this is what it shows and I have no way to know what it's doing at this point.

Any ideas?

On a related note, for a test I did a brand new install in another VM and it went great. The importer method hangs at this point above though. (I'm doing this to format the drive using ZFS)

For now I wound up just upgrading in place. I would like to take advantage of the snapshot function since I originally set this up in UFS instead of ZFS.

The hang would be from the installer disk, not the disk to be written (in general).  I'm note sure why it hangs and these things have been reported sparsely in the past, but it's been years while since this was happening more frequently.


Cheers,

Pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 or so doesn't show any additional details in this case ?

Some installers show what is going on that way :)
