_____ Van: Bao Ha [mailto:[email protected]] Verzonden: zondag 6 maart 2011 23:06 Aan: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Onderwerp: [pfSense Support] pfSense 2.0 RC1 Nanobsd Problem Something happened in BETA5 and it was carried into RC1, up to today snapshot: 20110306-0859. The file system in nanobsd version is now mounted fully RW, see the following "mount" command: ... [2.0-RC1][[email protected]]/root(1): mount /dev/ufs/pfsense0 on / (ufs, local) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/md0 on /tmp (ufs, local) /dev/md1 on /var (ufs, local) /dev/ufs/cf on /cf (ufs, local) devfs on /var/dhcpd/dev (devfs, local) ... I believe they are supposed to be mounted read-only or at least RW with NOATIME. We have had at least two systems running pfSense 2.0 BETA5 and RC1 RMAed back with suspected hardware problems, causing corruption of compact flash memory. We think the "root" cause of this problem is due to the filesystems mounted fully RW in the compact flash. We plan to distribute the following temporary fix to our custmers who want to run pfSense 2.0: ... [2.0-RC1][[email protected]]/root(1): cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hacom.sh #!/bin/sh # hacom.sh - BCH 3/6/2011 # Temprorary fix to mount the filesystem Read-Only to avoid destroying flash memory PLATFORM=`/bin/cat /etc/platform` if [ "$PLATFORM" = "nanobsd" ]; then /sbin/mount -u -oro /; /sbin/mount -u -onoatime /cf fi ... Appreciate if someone look into this problem. I have also CCed this message to [email protected] to notify others currently using pfSense 2.0 RC1 nanobsd version of the danger to flash memory.
