Re: [pfSense] Install CD - I don't know where to go with this

Sounds like the CD drive in that server probably isn't working right (assuming it is configured in the BIOS to boot from it), try an external CD-ROM, or use the memstick image to boot from USB flash instead. On Thu, Oct 30, 2014 at 6:01 PM, Mark Hisel wrote: > > I'm trying to make an install CD b

Re: [pfSense] APU and SSD: full install or NanoBSD

We have a couple here, too Josh. Now you have to explain why you’re endorsing ZFS, given that “the community” trashed talked my suggestion that running ZFS instead of nano on a SSD (or even USB3 memstick) was, potentially a *much* more durable (and more performant) result. (*) When you’re don

Re: [pfSense] APU and SSD: full install or NanoBSD

Every data I've seen on "them sucking" has to do specifically with NTFS, which the newly released firmware update is supposed to fix. We are using 840Evo's in all of our storage arrays, and haven't seen any issues(EXT4/ZFS). Josh Reynolds, Chief Information Officer SPITwSPOTS, www.spitwspots.

[pfSense] Install CD - I don't know where to go with this

 I'm trying to make an install CD but no joy.  Upfront, this is not a pfSense issue but maybe someone can help.  Thanks to those who have already responded. I used WinISO, which lets me fiddle with the boot record, so I burned a CD and then made an ISO from it and the ISO has a boot record. But i

Re: [pfSense] APU and SSD: full install or NanoBSD

3 year old Kingston SSDs are not like new Kingston SSDs. UFS is not ideal for SSD, but the pfSense store ships solutions with (Intel) SSD and UFS. So many people are confused by what it takes to make field equipment ‘live’ with an SSD, or SSD-like (eMMC) solution. I’ve mentioned ZFS before a
