Thx jim ! I've asked my client to return the CF card…
The client has made "stress test" on the firewall ! Don't exactly know what he has been doing with this appliance - but It looks like the card didn't survive. -- On another subject, I am trying to benchmark couple of firewalls / servers that I am using, do you have any good tool to point at ? It can be OpenSource or closed (as long as It is not over expensive). The idea is to provide clients with more data regarding my firewalls and the future NAS that I'll launch soon. Sincerely yours.
