Interesting, can you perhaps try changing from "Memory Device" to storing the file on your pool? Maybe ram is already allocated and in use by ARC and other things.

I tried changing it to my storage pool. The same error occurred shortly after I hit apply update.

Did you check the checksums of the file you are uploading or try another browser? Something clearly doesn't seem right there.

You could also try uploading the file over SSH and run "freenas-update <path-to-file>" to see if that tosses another error.

I got the file from https://download.freenas.org/latest/ . Which line or which file do I use to verify the checksum with - I'm not sure what to look for? I assume the checksum is not the same as the one from this download page: https://www.truenas.com/download-tn-core/?

I tried a different browser and the same error pops up.

There's a .sha256 file which contains the SHA256 checksum for the manual update TAR file. You'll need to verify the TAR file's checksum matches the one in the .sha256 file to have confidence you have a good download. To generate a checksum, use a PowerShell, and run Get-FileHash /path/to/TAR/file.

Is checksum verification case sensitive? I compared the sha256 file from https://download.freenas.org/latest/ to the string I got in powershell - both are identical in letters and numbers except uppercase and lowercase is switched. Screenshot here shows the sha256 file on the first line and the second line is copy/pasted from powershell output:

 

[Samuel Tai]

No, checksums aren't case sensitive.

 

[chickennuggets]

Well any ideas on what I should go from here? I'm puzzled.

 

[Samuel Tai]

Try rebooting and then reattempting the upgrade.

Just did a reboot. I'm still having the error.

 

[Samuel Tai]

What does /var/log/middlewared.log show?

 

[chickennuggets]

Hey! So while waiting for further instructions, I did a full shut down and unplugged the power. Then I turned it back on and tried again...IT UPDATED!! I don't know why that worked. Thank you Kris and Samuel!

 

[Samuel Tai]

OK, glad you're back up & running.
