Yes, the draw graph checkbox should now be checked on initial install. The graph data should go on and off based on the checkbox setting (previously it always did "draw graph", the checkbox was not effective).
The "bandwidthd has nothing to graph…" initial page got cached in my browser (Firefox) - I messed around for a while wondering why nothing displayed, then forcibly refreshed the page and the bandwidthd graphs appeared. So try a page refresh, or clear your browser cache.
bandwidthd tries to write its data to different places in "/usr" depending on the pfSense version:
switch ($pfs_version) {
case "1.2":
case "2.0":
define('PKG_BANDWIDTHD_BASE', '/usr/local/bandwidthd');
break;
default:
define('PKG_BANDWIDTHD_BASE', '/usr/pbi/bandwidthd-' . php_uname("m") . '/bandwidthd');
}
But on nanobsd "/usr" is read-only. So everything goes well until it wants to actually write the graph data!
There used to be some other issues with packages that wrongly left "/usr" read-write. At those times, bandwidthd could "jump in" and write its graph data. If the system was in this state for a few weeks, there were lots of writes to the CF card. I think this was a reason why I killed a CF card a few months ago.
Anyway, bandwidthd on nanobsd is not expected to work at present (certainly does not work on 2.1-BETA0). I am going to make some code changes to put the graph data in "/var" on nanobsd but haven't got to it yet. For that, I also need to think about what to do about periodically saving a copy to the CF card (and at shutdown) and reloading it on startup.
