I'm fairly sure that on reboot your filesystem would be back to read-write, I don't think that it would stay read-only.

AFAIK Inel Server NICs have a different interrupt handling with further reduced CPU utilization.
They are more expensive than Desktop NICs but there must be a reason behind Intel offering those two versions, right?

Please let me know if anyone has more details on the differences!

Do not cross post.  You mailed the same question to the mailing list.  We have politely asked in multiple places including this sites TOS to not cross post.  Thanks.

We release updates any time a security update is posted if it affects us.  Meanwhile the snapshot server rebuilds images hourly with the latest updates from FreeBSD (security updates) for the really security conscious.

Recent installation ISOS will ask which kernel you want to use upon installation and make the necessary changes.

Nevermind, found out how to set DMA to be off and that worked :

After the installation, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf:

If you have to disable DMA for your hard drive(s):

hw.ata.ata_dma=0

No I have it set at defaults, connecting directly there is no problem.  I even came home and installed pfsense on my home machine to try it out and I get the same result.

NTOP has a long history of hogging the CPU unfortunately.

Fat32 definitely won't work on a floppy. Ubuntu's format utility:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mkdosfs -c -f32 -v /dev/fd0 mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) Bad number of FATs : 32 Usage: mkdosfs [-A] [-c] [-C] [-v] [-I] [-l bad-block-file] [-b backup-boot-sector]       [-m boot-msg-file] [-n volume-name] [-i volume-id]       [-s sectors-per-cluster] [-S logical-sector-size] [-f number-of-FATs]       [-h hidden-sectors] [-F fat-size] [-r root-dir-entries] [-R reserved-sectors]       /dev/name [blocks]

Hello

I got this device http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=10909

Its got 6 nics, 5 realtek 10/100's and 1 realtek 10/100/1000

via ftp im able to get 90 megabits from "wan" to "DMZ" much faster than our net connection can handle

so it preforms pretty well, ram usuage sites at 30% and cpu sits mostly at 6% but some times spikes up to 60%

::)

RC1 has many many many bugs fixed that still exist in 1.0.1

Thanks will do.

reflash.
use 1.2 RC1 instead of 1.0.1

(btw. never heard of a version 1.0.2)

From a shell:

rm /boot/kernel/kernel

Reinstall the update.  Reboot.

what is your wan?
adsl?
is your modem working as a bridge or as a hybrid modem/router?

maybe my CDRom not working.. sorry..
