I have an Alix board and upgraded to 2.2.1 just fine (I think..) I have
the application Asterisk installed as a package.
In the past I have noted that it can take a long time to
install/re-install this package on an update of the system. On the order
of 40min - 1hr. Nothing much is happening during that time, but somehow
I was able to observe the progress.
This latest time, I did it overnight and did not keep track of the
re-install time.
FWIW

There was one problem - the webgui stopped responding afterwards, and
I rebooted pfSense one more time with ssh to make it work again.
Been running fine ever since. But had it not, I would have reinstalled
from scratch and restored a backup.

The documentation for updating pfSense firmware recommends noting and
removing all installed packages before updating[1]. Then, after a
successful update, reinstall the packages that were noted. I have had
very good success using this method however, I updated to 2.2.1 last
night without removing installed packages and after the reboot it took
about 2 hours for my Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2758 @ 2.40GHz with a
7200RPM pfSenseMirror to complete the package re-installation. Other
than a little hiccup with Sarg; all is well. I would, if you can, just
wait it out.

Morning all.
Since i like being on the "bleeding edge" of technology, as soon as
the new version of PFSense 2.2.1 was released yesterday, i downloaded
and installed it on my existing 2.2 box. I told it to do a full backup
before installing, waiting about 10 min and heard my server reboot (2
or 3 beeps, then lots of fans, then about 5 min later the usual
PFSense "boot" charms).
I was looking at the boot sequence over KVMoIP and it started to
install packages in the background. this took another 10 min... and
all was good.
This morning i logged into the box (both over kvm and web interface)
and the web gives me the following notice:
Packages are currently being reinstalled in the background.
Do not make changes in the GUI until this is complete.
but there is nothing showing on the console... Im not in the house
currently, so rebooting is iffy (and i wont have KVM access if i do
reboot). is it a good idea to reboot if this shows? any idea whats
going on here?
Thanks.
