I have FreeNAS 8.0.1-RC1-amd64 working fine for several months now, and have built up the courage to perform an upgrade. I have chosen to upgrade to 8.0.4-RELEASE_MULTIMEDIA-p2-x64 to take advantage of the iTunes/DLNA support. However, the GUI upgrade process isn't working for me. I can see in the message logs that the temporary location for uploading the firmware image has been created, but when I select the file to upload and enter the SHA256 value and start the process, it just hangs:
May 30 10:30:24 freenas freenas[1872]: Executing: /bin/rm -rf /var/tmp/firmware
May 30 10:30:24 freenas freenas[1872]: Executing: /bin/mkdir -p /mnt/data2/.freenas
May 30 10:30:24 freenas freenas[1872]: Executing: /usr/sbin/chown www:www /mnt/data2/.freenas
May 30 10:30:24 freenas freenas[1872]: Executing: /bin/ln -s /mnt/data2/.freenas /var/tmp/firmware
There are no further updates in the message logs, and the browser itself seems to hang. If I use Chrome it eventually complains about the page being unresponsive and asks if I want to wait or kill it. If I try it in IE9 it just sits there. I have left it for a couple of hours and nothing happens. I am connecting from a PC which has a gigabit ethernet link to the FreeNAS box, and I get good transfer speeds normally, so I don't think it's a just taking a long time to upload the file.
Could the issue be related to the self-signed SSL cert on the FreeNAS box preventing the file upload for some reason? I've seen this cause issues in other situations.
From reading in the forums I believe I can do a clean install and upload my config which I have already saved, and I should get my raidz volumes back no problem, but that means getting the box near a monitor/keyboard which is a pain, so I'd prefer a GUI upgrade if possible - or even a CLI way to do it via SSH if that's possible?
Any suggestions?
