pfSense

Fresh USB key I loaded 12/29 nano 1G or 2G image on it.

- on reboot, the dashboard prompted me to upgrade to 12/30 build, clicked on the invoke button, it downloaded it and said it installed it.
- refresh the webgui and the system log has the error:

"php: : New alert found: Upgrade failed due to the upgrade image being larger than the partition that is configured on disk. Halting. Size on disk: 448 < Size of new image: 450"

for a 2G build the error is: "....Halting. Size on disk: 926 < Size of new image: 928"

It seems for every image I have tried it is 2 'blocks' too small then the image on the USB key. The USB key was imaged with physdiskwrite-0.5.2 and the initial image was downloaded from: /FreeBSD_RELENG_8_1/i386/pfSense_HEAD/nanobsd.

- issue does not appear to happen on CF drives.
