Dissable RRD Graphs
-
# cat /etc/platform wrap# cat /etc/fstab # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1should i change rw to ro?
-
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?
-
Yes.
-
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?
-
I would think so, yes.
-
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.
