    Is the M.2 with SATA support to fit a default B-Key SATA SSD?

      There is no SATA support on the 6100. The slots are NVMe only.

        @gertjan So I see there's an option in Suricata Logs Mgmt to set a "Log Directory Size Limit", is that all I have to do to prevent it overflooding the disk space?

          Yep.
          Without the space management, Suricata will fill out all the space is can find, using the entire partition or disk.
          Still, this is not a set-it-and-forget-it-option. Check remaining space regularly.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

            @gertjan said in Netgate 6100 Storage:

            Check remaining space regularly

            Though disk space shows on the dashboard, it might be handy if there was an alert/email notification for "disk 95% full" or whatever. (I don't think there is?)

            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

              @steveits there isn't for me. Maybe it can have? I just don't know how to set it up.

                There's no option for that currently. There are a number of open feature requests for it. THis probably closest currently: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9226
                You can add comments there.

                There is a new disk information widget you may have seen in current snapshots too. That has some functionality with a percentage level.

                      @lichtlos Well for me the best strategy is to set the log limit on the netgate and use remote syslog server to store the files. As the official release video stated, the netgate 6100 box has reserved storage ports for their upcoming compatible drive, so the best thing is to wait I guess.

                        @1amt0ny can confirm the WD SN520 NVMe SSD - 256 GB works perfectly fine in my box. Set it up with ZFS as explained in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/168038/proper-steps-for-zfs-pave-re-install-on-6100
