[pfSense-discussion] growing images
It would be nice if the official images would come in several sizes (e.g. 256, 512, 1024 MBytes), using http://osdir.com/ml/security.firewalls.pfsense.support/2005-07/msg00241.html I don't have a FreeBSD installation, unfortunately. It would probably work in a VMWare guest, though. If anybody else is also interested in larger images, we can pool for a bounty. -- Eugen* Leitl a href=http://leitl.org;leitl/a http://leitl.org __ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE

unsubscribe 2007/8/28, Curtis LaMasters [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Honestly I don't know the answer to your questions but keep this in mind, pfSense loads from disk/flash/cd and then run's completely from RAM.

I think this is true only for the embedded version. The full version (with packages et.al.) will quite probably use disk I/O. I've thought about using a 4 GB Microdrive, but never got around doing it. cheers, Rainer

Yes; IIRC a vanilla CF would be toast after about half a year. I've thought about using a 4 GB Microdrive, but never got around doing it. There's a HOWTO on http://devwiki.pfsense.org/FullInstallOnWRAP but I'm not too excited about Microdrive's reliability record. I was thinking a real 2.5 SSD would have a MTBF comparable to a real hard drive (SanDisk claims 2 Mh MTBF, can't find any such for Hama SSD, which is a bargain at about 100 EUR for 4 GByte, which probably already answers my question). I would love to just use vanilla disks, but the Travla case has already killed a couple of 3.5, so I'm not too excited to test the failover in real production. -- Eugen* Leitl a href=http://leitl.org;leitl/a http://leitl.org __ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
