System stopped working during upgrade to 24.1.9

[ddt3]

I am running:
OPNsense 24.1.8-amd64 on an Intel(R) Celeron(R) N5105 @ 2.00GHz (4 cores, 4 threads).

Using the webgui I tried to uprgade from 24.1.8 to 24.1.9 but the upgrade failed.
Now when I retry to do an update it shows:

/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/shell/firmware.sh: less: Input/output error


Using a shell I get the same error when using "less":

I am afraid my disk is failing so wanted to look at smartctl, but no device is shown in the webgui:


On the command line I have now idea which device to use:

Code Select Expand

root@OPNsense:~ # geom disk list
root@OPNsense:~ #


dmesg does show messages like this:

Code Select Expand

g_vfs_done():gpt/rootfs[WRITE(offset=114156208128, length=32768)]error = 6

I admit I am a total n00b when it comes to Freebsd , so is my disk indeed dying(dead?)

It is my experience that once a disk is failing it is best to first make sure to get all the information from the system, while it is still running. A system that is still runnning with disk issues, often does not reboot because of these disk issues. Next to that without my opnsense server I would not be connected to the internet (makes it hard to search google, download opnsense ISO's etc.). so I stalled addressing this issue for as long as I could (was working from home and although things appeared messed up , I still had internet)

Unfortunately the system started degrading over the days and finally my internet connection broke, dns and dhcp stopped working  (but opnsense would still be responding to ping). So I had everything prepared and I was ready to re-install the system but as I no longer had anything to lose, I just rebooted the system.

This fixed the issue, after reboot the disk showed up again:

And the SMART plugin does again show useable information:



So I think the title of this post should have been:
"System stopped working during upgrade to 24.1.9"

Apparently as no one replied to this post, I am the only one to experience this?
