      Hello,

      I wanted to try my hand at changing the WebGui a little bit and wondered how I could mount the embedded version as writeable, do my changes, and then make it read only as before.
      I am using embedded version 1.0.1.

      Thanks for any help you can give,

        from the shell (option 8):

        /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw

        …make changes...

        /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro

          Thanks for the post, but what ended up working for me was:

          mount /dev/ufs/pfSense /

          This allowed me to write. I then tried to unmount with the same command but got no where. However after some time (30 minutes?) the file system put itself back to read only.

          Ciao,

          P.
