Description

In some situations an upgrade to 23.01 on an 1100 or 2100 will fail after the upgrade process is unable to update the uefi loader in the efi partition.

The upgrade logs show:

[1/2] Extracting pfSense-boot-23.01: .......... done
Updating the EFI loader
cp: //boot/efi/efi/boot/BOOTaa64.efi No space left on device

That error does not stop the upgrade which fails to boot when no efi loader can be found.

For reference, the firmware may be re-installed (rather than upgraded) to work around the issue.

Fix for this is introduced into pfSense-updgrade at revision 2c4bf3c in plus packages only at this time. pfSense-upgrade will prevent upgrades from arm64 systems which have an ESP that is too small. It has also been merged to 23.01 and is awaiting release into the world.

The unsafe copy of the boot loader is addressed in #14045
