Core 194 Testing

1

Upgrade from CU 193 Testing ran smoothly, via WUI, in VM. I don’t currently have a bare-metal machine set up on which to run IPF Testing release.

Have now moved the HDD from my bare-metal Testing CU193 to different hardware, from which it was working OK, following re-assignment of NIC.

Upgrade to CU 194 Testing went smoothly, via WUI

I can agree.
WUI updated from 193 without issues.
Now on day 6 with “194” with no problems.

Core 194 Testing - Development Build: master/262809b8. Updated without any issue. Running perfectly so far with proxy, ids/ips, qos, wlan, etc. on mini-appliance.

Very good job! Thank you!

A little late to the table I appreciate (Been a tough few months) But although my initial experience was good, “in life” has been REALLY bad!

Running Ipfire on a DL360-G5 - Dual Xeon - 16GB RAM (its what I had available)

The 193 to 194 upgrade ran smoothly as ever, the reboot was successful. VPN worked, all seemed well…

I have a media server and web server on Orange that both access a common NAS on Green

I noticed after a few days (I hadn’t been around much due to illness) that the media server could no longer connect to the NAS.

I logged in. Etc/fstab was ok but on mount -a it said that minimum versions of SMB had moved up. OK - these things happen.

I copied the SMB3 mount statement syntax for cifs V3 from the web server changed the credentials and mounted again. Host is down
Pinged it - host is up ??

OK checked the web server - 404 - ah! this was already on SMB3 so the error message on the media server didnt apply.

The firewall rule that permits SMB Orange to green includes all 4 ports (137:139 and 445) as a service group so the SMB version should not have been impacted.

then I noticed that I could also no longer route green or blue to OpenVPN although OpenVPN was able to connect to all networks

the more I looked at it , the more it looked like IPfire had a config corruption since applying the 194 upgrade.

I then noticed that both my static routes had dissapeared from the GUI
(they allowed temporary access to 2 road warrior subnets)

something appeared VERY wrong.

I elected to reload the backup that I took before the 194 upgrade .
as soon as I did, all my traffic came back! no rules had changed in the interim and I am the only person with console / remote access.

I then noticed that the fans were a little fast and sure enough fan3 had failed. I politely powered off, swapped out the fan module, and restarted…it got as far as USB hardware detection …discovered my APC UPS and froze.

As I was at the console, I took out the USB cable to the UPS and rebooted - same problem

On the next reboot there was no change.

I elected to reboot in “advanced mode” and IPfire came up . im typing to you though it green-red

I fear I may have to burn the 194 ISO , take my last known working backup config from immediately before the 194 upgrade and rebuild from scratch as something here is very amiss!
