Just a heads up on updating headless devices.

 This update takes a while so if it seems like it's taking a long time, it is but there is nothing wrong. Don't reset or anything, just wait.

Yes on something like an APU can be 15+ minutes from the moment it starts going down until it is back up, depending on storage speed and number of packages installed.

Yes, when it goes down the first time and it begins to reboot it stops and does the kernel update then reboots and starts the package update and reboots. Tells me how major of an upgrade this is.

I've upgraded opnsense-boot a while back and thought about doing a sort of beep sequence for the imminent upgrade reboots. Just an idea if it would help although set extract could still take quite a while with no feedback while doing it.


Cheers,
