Hello,

I checked for update and started the update process. But now the node is stuck on “Running Umbrel migrations…” There is a clear message on the bottom that I cannot refresh the window of power off the node. But I have been waiting for 2 hours now. What to do?

 ![Scherm­afbeelding 2023-06-23 om 19.00.24](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/2/2a9e66045a5febbe6ae9c2dcfbbed3b420401e42.jpeg)

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Farl

Thank you, I have contacted you on Telegram. And thank you for your help there Luke!

Seems like my SD card run out of storage. I needed to reflash the SD card with the new UmbrelOS.

Hey @mafzaal It’s due to a MicroSD card issue running out of room

> The most reliable fix for this issue if you are on the Raspberry Pi 4 platform is to reflash your MicroSD card. If you have another one you can swap in, please try another card as well in case you have a failing card

> SSH and run this command to safely shutdown: `sudo shutdown`

> Unplug power and reflash your MicroSD card, then when complete plug in your power last and wait ~5 minutes

> For reference, reflashing will not result in any data loss because all data is stored on your external storage drive (SSD or HDD).

> **To reflash your MicroSD card, follow the steps on the website under [“Install on a Rasberry Pi 4.”](https://umbrel.com/#start)**

Thank you @usernameisJim your steps worked. Did Umbrel 0.5.4 update work after re-flashing?

when you reflash it does run through an automatic update so it’s safe to flash to most recent version even if you’re on the old one
