          Do you mean the format of the disk?

          In any case, a small update, I only got to mess with it today
          I replaced the computer's memories
          There were 4 sticks of 4 gigabytes, that is 16 gigabytes
          I removed them and put 2 new ones of 4 GB
          Meanwhile the computer is working

          I surf through another router
          If by the end of the day it doesn't cause problems I will add 2 more new 4 gig sticks
          Then wait to see what happens

            @firefox said in pfsense is crashing need help:

            Do you mean the format of the disk?

            https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/install-zfs.html
            I mean when you have installed it which one filesystem you have been selected? ZFS or UFS?

              When I installed I did an automatic installation without any additional settings

                That's fine. You can find it on the dashboard. Disks widget.

                        @firefox 1. boot environments, also less issues with cold boot resets. More stable filesystem.
