Posted on 26/01/2015 - 28/10/2018 by Stefan

After the release of pfSense 2.2 it was time to upgrade some installations. They resides on Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V. After the first reboot my test machine did not come up. The screen looks like this:

pfSense 2.2 Upgrade 01The error message is quite interesting at first:

Mounting from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a failed with error 19.

After little goggling I’ve found this article:
