Use the 128 - it'll be fine. Put the 1Gb in your camera or flog it off to someone with a CF based camera.
Or get a USB/CF reader and use it as portable storage :) -----Original Message----- From: Mojo Jojo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 26 October 2005 5:06 p.m. To: discussion@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense-discussion] CF Card Size Hmm.. OK, I just ripped out the 128mb thinking it was bad to use the minimum recommended in a production system. I was trying to set it up with a 1GB card but physdiskwrite complains that it's over 800mb and won't write to it. Anyhow, if you think it's fine for handling all of what a T1 can throw at it, then I will just put the 128mb back in and make my life easier :) Todd ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Marquette" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <discussion@pfsense.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2005 11:03 PM Subject: Re: [pfSense-discussion] CF Card Size On 10/25/05, Mojo Jojo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I know the minimum recommended CF card size for a WRAP setup is 128mb. > My question is what is appropriate for a fairly busy router in a > production environment using most of a T1, most of the time. If you're just using the flash image, 128M card should be more than adequate. We don't write anything to it (yet) so it should be happy. > Also, is the speed of the card important? The cards I have both say > "hi speed" but just curious if I even need "Hi Speed" cards or not. I'm running my 4801 on a 128M SanDisk Industrial CF...it's SLLOOOWWWW, maybe 4x at best. Runs fine, if a hair slow...faster CF's will speed up the WebGUI and boot, but won't help (or hinder) routing performance. --Bill
