Unable to upgrade

[10thdoctor]

Hello to everyone,

I'm having a few problems upgrading from FreeNAS-8.0-RELEASE-amd64 to 8.0.3 which I believe is related to disk space. I've got FreeNAS on a 8GB USB stick, while I have 4x 1TB drives for ZFS storage.

This is an output of df -h:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ufs/FreeNASs1a 458M 403M 18M 96% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/md0 4.4M 2.3M 1.8M 57% /etc
/dev/md1 686K 8.0K 624K 1% /mnt
/dev/md2 75M 14M 54M 21% /var
/dev/ufs/FreeNASs4 20M 1.2M 17M 7% /data
hdds 3.9T 71M 3.9T 0% /mnt/hdds

As you can see, FreeNASs1a is almost at capacity which I'd imagine would be why. As it's an 8GB stick, there's plenty of space on it which doesn't look like it's used? Is there anyway I can increase it - without re-installing FreeNAS (no optical drive, not to mention I don't want to lose my data!)

Thanks in advance for any help!

How are you trying to upgrade? Which method

Thanks for the reply! I've tried via the Web GUI (8.0.1, .2 and .3) and also manually via SSH (/usr/bin/xz -cd /root/FreeNAS-8.0.3-RELEASE-x64.GUI_Upgrade.xz | sh /root/update && touch /data/need-update)

Release Notes for FreeNAS 8.0.3-RELEASE

*** IMPORTANT ***

- The image size increased in 8.0.1-BETA3. The new size requires a 2 GB storage device. The GUI upgrade can be used to upgrade a system from BETA3, BETA4, or RC1 but upgrades from earlier releases can only be done from the CD. The other option is to save the config, reinstall the new version, then restore the config.

Ah, I see. I did read the notes but obviously only skimmed through them. Thanks for pointing it out (apologies for the n00b thread), I will try and get a CD-drive hooked up to it.
