Upgrade Problems

Hardware MikroTik hardware general
1

I’m trying to upgrade a RouterBOARD from 3.13 to 3.23, and the device shows that 60.5 of 60.6 MB of storage are full. FTPing into the device shows that there’s about 13 megs of space used with a few old backups. The upgrade path told me to upload the combined packages, and then reboot the device to upgrade, but the combined package is too large.

Is there any way to determine where the storage is being used? Alternately, if I upload the packages one at a time, will that work to upgrade?

I inherited a few Mikrotik devices at a client, and so this is all new to me. Thank you for your help.

Make sure you do not have Dude package installed on the RouterBOARD. Check /system package print for Dude package.
Dude package may take some HDD space, and it is recommended to have at least 128Mb free on HDD to run Dude.


Uninstall Dude package /system package uninstall dude
upgrade the router to the latest version.
Consider about adding secondary drive to the router, if Dude server is necessary on this router.
