      After installing a 128GB M.2 2242 ssd into a 2100, and configuring file system/partition scheme using default ZFS/GPT the available Memory shown in the dashboard is consistently 3.3GB, not the 115G returned using the df -h command. I want the added available memory to accommodate installing several packages as well as log retention.

      Any advice as to how to correct this would be greatly appreciated.

      Thank you.

        @thumper23 "Memory" refers to RAM of which the SG-2100 got 4GB (not expandable).

        What you added is a disk and you'll see it in the 'Disk' widget if you installed pfSense onto it.

          That^, exactly.

          The ZFS widget also shows the disk in use:

            Oh my!

            I am embarrassed not to have known this. Thank you so very much for pointing this out to me. I spent a week trying to figure this out. I did not consider (disk vs memory), and that there exists a "Disk" widget.

            Stephenw10 you are the greatest!

            Best regards,
