Upgrade troubles (how to update via command line)

[skysurf76]

Had a power outage last week, Freenas has been acting goofy ever since. When I try to update through the GUI I get checksum errors. I tried downloading the update and then uploading it through the GUI and it got stuck at "extracting update" at 30%.

I can get the update file on the system, I just need to know the shell commands to install it.

However, this uses the same backend as the GUI to apply the manual update, so you may run into the same issue. You may be better off saving your config, and doing a clean install; after which, you can upload your saved config.

Yep, I have the config saved. I have a feeling a fresh install will be the solution. I'm going to give this a try just to see though. Thank you for the help.
