      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.

                      I would think so, yes.

                        @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.
