Pfsense 2.0.3 release to 2.1.0 automatic upgrade

[OBasel]

Want to get experiences with the automatic updates of Pfsense. Worth trying? Does the configuration survive?

Hi OBasel,

I upgraded the other day without problems, but always take a backup before doing a change like that; either within Pfsense or a snapshot of the system.

Hi OBasel. I did it on two separate instances and had no problem what so ever. Gonna migrate from 64bit to 32bit so solve the PPTPproblems too and I hope I won't run in to any config issues there either.

I have had two installs update to 2.1

Here is an interesting one for you. The installation went without a hitch. Having an issue both in 2.0.3 and 2.1-release:

Having a completely crazy issue here: the DHCP Leases Page on the WebGUI will not load.

Here's what I did:
1. Tried accessing the page from Status -> DHCP Leases - this did not work
2. Tried loading another page then navigating to Status -> DHCP Leases - again waited 10 minutes and it did not load
3. Upgraded from 2.0.3-Release to 2.1-Release (which includes a reboot)
4. Tried using 2.1-Release to go to DHCP Leases - again this did not work
5. Tried going Status -> DHCPv6 Leases and it worked without issue

Prior to the upgrade/ reboot and for 180 days straight the DHCP leases page came up quickly whenever requested.

On uptime day 181+ this issue occurred. Reboot did not fix.

Posted this on the pfsense forums.

Strange part is that I still cannot get the DHCP service to load!
