Netgate 6100 Storage
-
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?
-
@1amt0ny
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. -
@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?)
-
@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.

Some tips here : Suricata Logs grow over limitation

@1amt0ny hi did you manage to find a compatible drive?

@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
