Upgrading to RC3 from RC2 - BROKEN
-
Random stops, corrupt files, it sounds like a hardware issue. Flaky HDD or RAM.
-
It's an alix all in one box, designed for pfsense and comes with it pre-installed
-
Are you running a NanoBSD install there or a full install?
Your CF could by dying.
-
Umm pass. Like I said came as is and we just do upgrades.
I actually emailed one of the guys at pfsense about some other issues problems we want to resolve.
We're and indie game Dev studio and currently have no IT staff, so are in need of someone to help us with this type of stuff, sorry I can't be much more help :-/

If you have a spare CF, writing out a fresh image onto a new CF and restoring your config would be a good way to eliminate the CF as a problem.
CF cards have limited write cycles, so any kind of activity (especially upgrades) will shorten their potential lifespan. CF cards are cheap, probably $10-15 for a 4GB card, if that.

Can a 2.5" HDD be used?
-
Depends on your model, but … maybe. I haven't tried to do it, but others have. Some ALIX models do have a laptop hdd connector inside (IDE, not SATA) but you would also need a small laptop IDE cable. CF is cheap, and usually reliable, not a lot of reasons to bother adding (prone to fail) moving parts to it.
-
I think it's a storage issue, I've just noticed n the dashboard that disk usage is at 103% :-/
-
Where do the updates get downloaded to? In terms local directories?
-
/root/
