1GB CF Flash full !!!

amartich · Jul 7, 2006, 5:20 PM

I installed the embbeded version wich olny is 20MB on a 1GB CF Card but when i open
the web configutator (GUI) it says the mamory has 91% used

Why ???? ???

This has been asked atleast 100 times.

The image is 64 megs. That means no matter what size CF card you install it onto, it will still be 64 megs. Nothing is stored on the CF except the system and config.xml whcih only gets mounted RW when a config change is made.

So why the disk usage says 91% ???

sullrich · Jul 7, 2006, 5:42 PM

Its only using 64 megs!

I understand that, but i want to know why in the web interface it said that have 91% of the disk usage, so is there a bug on the interface ?

sullrich · Jul 7, 2006, 5:49 PM

Because it is using 91% of 64 megs.

So is it partition the drive in 64MB ? or if i instal any package will it go over the 64MB ??? just dont want to make sure the disk dont go full and it crash

Its an embedded image, packages do not work on it.

So can i use the regular pfsense on a Soekris instead of the embedded ??

Nope. Unless you want your compact flash to write itself to death.

Is there a page where the limitation for the embedded that i can look at ?
