    Those are real errors accessing the disk. So it is not that the file system is full - it is that there is some disk problem. If this was working fine for a few months, then the errors started, that means it is not a general FreeBSD driver or disk SSD firmware issue. It seems that the disks are failing in some way. It is surprising that you are getting similar failures then on 5 different systems. Someone else might be able to advise what might be going wrong with a whole batch of disks!

    There is a curses based web browser that you can use but it's fairly ugly. See: http://www.freshports.org/www/links Steve

    @stephenw10: @Arisian: The great thing about Christmas, is that my wife apparently still wants the internet to work today. Pssh… Ha! I feel your pain.  ;D What _JT has described above should work but it's not how I would do it or many other people here on the forum. Having your R7000 NATing between the 10.0.0.0 and 11.11.11.0 subnets is a bad idea. You're just making far more work for yourself, increasing the possibility of errors by many times. You should have one internal subnet and allow all the devices on it to be handed and IP by the pfSense DHCP server. You can probably turn of routing and NAT of the R7000 using DD-WRT (it's been a while since I used it) in which case you can use all 5 ports and you'll see no reduction in throughput. You shouldn't be using 11.11.11.0 at all because that is not a private subnet! If you ever need to access a server at 11.X it won't work. Steve I understand what you mean…if the server of the TS is not sufficient to handle both firewalling, NATting and traffic then it might be best to buy a new router. Just built one myself with an Athlon 5350, works great :)

    And remember that the whole configuration is done from the webGUI. It might be handy to look at some logs, conf files etc from the command line, but everything is generated by the config entered through the webGUI. Don not (and there is no need to) edit stuff (conf files, change interface settings…) from the command line, those changes will be overwritten the next time pfSense re-creates them.

    Are you just trying to go straight to a shell rather than having the config wizard (or whatever it's called)? If that is what you're trying to do, changing /etc/rc.initial probably isn't the best way to go about this. The reason why /etc/rc.initial is being executed after logging in via SSH is because /root/.profile is set to start it for interactive sessions. If you want to immediately launch tcsh rather than rc.initial, change /root/.profile to use /bin/tcsh rather than changing rc.initial. Doing it this way should leave /etc/rc.initial intact in case you need to use it in the future. Edit: Reread your original post, sounds like you just wanted to get straight into a root shell rather than use a script to enter options on the wizard

    Do you mean the 4150? I can't find a 4140. Kind of beyond what I have access to but we're talking about some big numbers.  :) Hopefully someone else will come along to put some better figures to this. It won't max out all your NICs which could be 16Gbps if all 8 were somehow managing to stream 1Gbps in and out simultaneously! I would guess it will be >4Gbps though that is a guess. PPS becomes a more meaningful measure at those speeds because the contents of the packet can vary greatly, affecting the throughput bandwidth, while the number of packets forwarded remains relatively constant. That CPU is only dual core so you won't see quite the same step up in performance from 2.2 that some others will due to the multithreaded pf in FreeBSD 10. Steve

    Whenever someone around me asks questions about implementing pfSense in any commercial environment I usually pull up this document and show them. https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Comparison_to_Commercial_Alternatives pfSense can easily be configured to port forward on a port by port,  1:1 NAT, or even act only as a firewall to devices/computers behind it that have their own public IP addresses. :)

    Thank you for your replay. I'm using squid3 3.1.20 pkg 2.1.2. The Dynamic content feature that you mention is enabled, but the problem exists. Maybe there is another parameter that i miss? Thanks again.

    Gonna take a look at that when I'm at the location again, thanks. I think I might just disable ipv6 inside the network completely; I'm guessing it has no added value whatsoever but the adresses are harder to remember :D

    @P3R: @phil.davis: I think it tends to appear on interfaces that have VLANs or other aggregation methods where there is traffic for multiple logical things flowing on a single physical connection. I have the bug with neither VLAN nor any interface aggregation. I do however have IPSec site-site connections active, so in that sense there are multiple logical channels out on the WAN. We dont have any vlans on the pfsense box but we do in the network. We have openvpn runninn. H.
