          Worth a shot.

          I should add that this is not supported!

            I know it's unsupported. I found the information about changing platform to wrap in your wiki btw (but i can't find it at the moment).

            btw. when i changed platform to wrap the system stopped writing to disk. Exactly what happened when i did that? Does the system look in that file and changes som settings at boot time?

                Then i will change it back to "pfSense", reboot, change it to wrap and reboot again. Hopefully it will change those settings and it will work as i want it to do.

                  pfSense is full read write, not read only!

                  wrap or embedded are the only read only options….

                    Ok.

                    If i disable logging, platform is set to wrap and the RRD is logging to a ram disk what then could be reading/writing?

                    The CF-card will start failing if the system writes to the same block every 4 second in 14 days (i think). I'm starting to get worried about the machine.

                    one more thing. What is "missing" in the embedded version?

                      Logging is always sent to a ram disk, regardless so its not going to affect the CF.  RRD logs to a ramdisk, regardless, so its not going to affect the CF.

                      Embedded is lacking package support.

                        Can i use my backed up configuration from this setup if i install the embedded version?

                            @VaCUm:

                            I'm running pfSense at home on a old Pentium II and i use a CF-card instead of a hard drive. I have changed /etc/platform to wrap and disabled logging to minimize disk activity.

                            You want 'embedded' not wrap btw.
