/etc/version doesn't match UI for Build number in System -> Information

[johnedstone]

/etc/version does not match Build number in System - > Information
The effect of this inconsistencies is that there is an amber alert showing these two messages

Code:

OK: Oct. 22, 2018, 2:58 p.m. - There is a new update available! Apply it in System -> Update tab.
WARNING: Oct. 22, 2018, 3:39 p.m. - Update: FreeNAS-11.1-U6 has already been applied. Please activate 11.1-U6 via the Boot Environment Tab and Reboot to use this updated version.

And the Update tab also shows that the latest updated needs to be activated, even though the Boot tab show the lastest update is active (see attached image)

Multiple reboots do not change this behavior

Hardware (since dmidecode does not seem to work, showing top lines of dmesg)

What's the ouptut of beadm list ?

What's the ouptut of beadm list ?

Code:

shell> beadm list
BE	  Active Mountpoint  Space Created		 Nickname
11.1-U6 NR	 /		  831.0M 2018-10-22 13:12	 11.1-U6

 

[dlavigne]

Really? that's the whole output? If so, that is weird and brings up some questions: Which version did you initally install and how many upgrades have you done since then?

 

[johnedstone]

I believe that is the expected output (see the image name above etc_version_inconsistencies.png
Note that before I created this thread, there were multiple versions listed in the UI (system -> boot). I believe they were called initial install, 11.1-U5, maybe 11.1-U5.1 and 11.1-U6. I don't exactly remember. But in trying to resolve this I did unkeep and delete these, in order to see if this would resolve the problem, which it didn't.

 

[johnedstone]

I am looking through the code trying to figure out where this value is pulled from. I have familiarity with django, but not dojango. At first glance, I see that the template is using the variable local.version, but it's not clear to me what 'view' is providing this. I see the file common/system.py has the function get_sw_version, which could read /etc/version but calling this function with the command python manage.py shell it returns with sys_mani = conf.SystemManifest()
So any suggestions helping me figure out where this is pulled from and why it's not accurate?

[johnedstone]

Code:

egrep 'Version.*FreeNAS-11.1-U4' /data/manifest
	"Version": "FreeNAS-11.1-U4"

So is the UI reading /data/manifest ? Is the value of Build on the System->Info page incorrect, or simply meant to list what is in /data/manifest ?

Filed bug: https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/57042?next_issue_id=57021&prev_issue_id=57060

"Fixed" by switching to 11.2-Stable which was really 11.2-RC1 and did upgrade and reboot.
All of the above issues were fixed.
Thanks
