[SOLVED] upgrade from 15.1.10.1 to 15.1.11.1 failed

[jstrebel]

Hi,
I tried to upgrade from 15.1.10.1 to 15.1.11.1 and get the following message:
The process will require 126 MiB more space.
44 MiB to be downloaded.
pkg: Not enough space in /var/cache/pkg, needed 44 MiB available 38 MiB
*** Welcome to OPNsense 15.1.10.1-4b197af1e (amd64) on OPNs-tst ***

I followed the instruction and executed before pkg2ng

You probably did run a liveCD.

You may want to install OPNsense prior to an upgrade. Use console menu point 99) to initiate the hard disk install.

Hope that helps.

I did a console update. (Menue 12). I'am Running a nano image on it.
It looks to me the root cause is in the fact that I was omitting a release. The second Box where I did a sequntial upgrade performed well.

Jakob, the MFS for /var is too small for the update. All files to be upgraded are downloaded to this partition. Under "System: Settings: Misc.: /var RAM Disk Size" set it to 100 MB or more, depending on your available RAM. Afterwards reboot and rerun the update.

Franco, thanks. It worked. J

Good to know. I changed to RAM usage as well for my VM.

One of the "whoops" moments -- /var/cache/pkg is used to fetch packages. We can probably up that limit, but that's a never-ending arms race. We can use tmpfs for /tmp and /var, these can adapt to whatever is available without specifying an upper bound. Anybody willing to look into that as an exercise?

* weust runs

[franco]

You'll even get karma for this....

[weust]

You too for giving me karma :-)

[franco]

We're stuck in an endless loop then.
