Interesting note, thanks!

I kept digging a bit before I gave up and came up with this... In reviewing the update package, I followed each command to see if it had been completed so I could track it down where exactly things went awry. I traced it to this block in unRAIDServer.plg (lines 280-284). # if EFI or EFI- directory does not exist if [[ ! -e /boot/EFI && ! -e /boot/EFI- ]]; then unzip -d /boot /tmp/&name;.zip EFI-/* || exit 1 sed -i 's|default /syslinux/menu.c32|default menu.c32|g' /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg &> /dev/null fiWhen I look at my /boot partition, I have neither an EFT nor an EFT- directory present. The unzip command expects to find files in the ZIP at EFI-/*, but the files are at EFI/*. Due to this, it exits 1. Given I'm running in legacy mode, I definitely don't want a /boot/EFI with these files (based on my understanding of UEFI. To work around this, initially, I just created a /boot/EFI- directory, and the patch ran fine. For consistency, I will copy the EFI files over to EFI-, as this is what I understand SHOULD be happening. I'm not sure if something caused the EFI to get deleted or if it was removed entirely in the past. Definitely weird...

I'll need to source a drive and dig the server out of the rack, so it will take some time. I'll give it a shot and report back. I really appreciate your help here!

I took a flash backup before I attempted an upgrade, yes.

So if I'm reading these plugin files right, it looks like it runs each FILE block in sequence. Based on the output I'm getting during the upgrade process, I feel like it's failing on the 2nd block, specifically commented as 'If Unraid Connect is installed, ensure it is current'. I just uninstalled that and am in the process of rebooting. Curious if that might be the culprit.

It's been a few years honestly. I would have followed the guide at the time for 6.x. It has given me no trouble (that I am aware of) up to this point. Looking at the host after I attempt an install (and before I cancel it), it looks like it sets things up as expected...

Sorry, no. Running bare metal. Was just trying to indicate that I've rebooted prior to reattemtping the upgrade.

I currently have a machine running 7.2.0 that I can't seem to get upgraded. I've tried targeting both 7.2.3 and 7.2.1, but I always fail in the exact same manner. Plugins have all been updated, the host has been rebooted (multiple times), etc. I don't see anything obvious in the system logs and really don't know where to start looking at to determine what post_plugin_checks seems to have an issue with.
