Soekris 5501 + pfSense 1.2.3

tarciosaraiva

Hi there
I'm new to the forum and this is my first post! UHU! :D

I've been using pfSense for quite a while now and love it.
When this new version was released, I was eager to try it out and it's fantastic!

However, I do have an issue that I have no clue how to solve it ???

I have a 4GB card on a Soekris 5501. I could install the 4GB nano image on the card properly using physdiskwrite and now have a fully functional pfSense 1.2.3 on my Soekris box.

However, the partitions concern me. Here's the output of my df -h command:

$ df -h
Filesystem           Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ufs/pfsense0    1.8G     81M    1.6G     5%    /
devfs                1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev
/dev/md0              38M    4.0K     35M     0%    /var/tmp
/dev/md1              58M     11M     42M    20%    /var
/dev/ufs/cf           49M    119K     45M     0%    /cf
devfs                1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /var/dhcpd/dev

Why do I have only a 2 GB partition on a 4 GB CF card? And why is the /dev/mdX partitions only that small?

I had to configure the box twice because I was eager to install squidGuard in it and I ran out of space.

Can anyone help? How can I solve this issue?

Thank you!

The nano images have two slices, so the 4GB image has two 2GB slices. This allows recovery from a failed upgrade, corrupted system, etc. For what you want to do, I would recommend getting the sata kit and an SSD for the 5501. Then run the full install instead of nano.

Thank you for that.
