Upgraders beware

[ellog]

Having a configuration backup is always a good idea. As is having a ZFS snapshot/boot environment to perform a quick and smooth rollback  ;)

Patrick thanks to your post i used the chance and installed OPNsense fresh with ZFS.

I found the issue i had upgrading from 23.7.12 to 24.1, in my case something happened during the upgrade with my gateways. I have WAN, LAN, OPT1 and OPT2. OPT2 has his own Gateway and with the upgrade the default gateway was set to that which was wrong. After correcting the Gateways all went well, also HAProxy works now fine. First time this happened.

At the end all good, thx

Not to my knowledge. At least basic Internet access should work so you can update to 23.7-latest first.

BTW: I run APU4D4 with ZFS and OPNsense - the performance and memory of the device itself is definitely sufficient.

I just wanted to say thanks to Patrick – I took the plunge, reinstalled my APU2E4 with ZFS and 24.7, and not only did I get everything to work (including the rollback availability) but the system boots up noticeably faster as well. Great stuff! 👏👏🙏
