Install rootfs artifact failed from Mender server

Board Integrations Debian family

I believe this is due to this bug. I think I will try to get this prioritized, it’s not the first time I have seen this.

A couple of workaround suggestions:

  • Don’t click on any of the “Add a pause” buttons when creating the deployment.
  • If that doesn’t work, or you really need to use the pausing feature, then you can add this to the /etc/mender/mender.conf file on the device:
  "UpdateControlMapExpirationTimeSeconds": 3600,

(drop the comma if it’s the last line in the block, aka JSON)

This will set the expiration of the internal Update Control Map (where the pause comes from) to one hour instead of ten minutes, which is the default for the demo setup. Actually this map is supposed to be refreshed during the download, but the bug is preventing that.
