Unable to install the latest updates

[escalibur]

I'm having a problem while trying to install the latest updates to FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201505040117 version I'm using now.


May 11 11:07:53 NAS updated.py: [freenasOS.Installer:625] Delta package 9.3-STABLE-4c5bf4d-9e81b33-adf8538->9.3-STABLE-70e5e2d-3bda974-adf8538 cannot upgrade current version 9.3-STABLE-70e5e2d-3bda974-adf8538

May 11 11:08:09 NAS manage.py: [middleware.exceptions:38] [MiddlewareError: Unable to install packages]


I'm using dual USB 2.0 8GB sticks (with about 11% of used space):

Size: 7.4 GiB
Used: 849.7 MiB (11%)

Veryfying the installation seems to be ok because the only message I'm gettin is already known 'issue':

List of Checksum Mismatches:

/conf/base/etc/resolv.conf


I'm afraid to reboot this before trying again because with my luck FreeNAS won't boot correctly and I will have to install it all over again.

Any suggestions what might cause this or is this already "a known bug"?

Stay put, 20150510whatever has weird SMART bug.

In any case, make sure you have a backup of your config file. If you do, the worst that can happen is having to reinstall FreeNAS and upload the config file.

That's what I've expected. I won't reboot this for now. Maybe upcoming update will be able to overwrite whatever I have installed atm?

ps. Yeah I'm trying to save config files on a regular basis.

Do we know more? It works fine on my Mini...

Not a problem for people who don't run daily SMART short tests (they're mostly redundant anyway, so I'm comfortable upgrading for now) - at least in 201505040117.


@escalibur - I'd reboot and try the update again, if you want to try this update again. It might have been a bad download.

I'm not sure will it help because obviously FreeNAS will try to reboot into the new version even though updates are not installed?

Looks wierd IMO.

Ok I've found the solution for this.

I updated my current installation with the http://download.freenas.org/9.3/latest/x64/FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201505100553.GUI_Upgrade.txz file and after that system has rebooted automatically. Now I'm using version FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201505100553 with no updates available.

(Should've tried this before)
