      Hi,

      i recently switched to pfSense 2.0 with a fresh install. Using the embedded version on an CF.

      The problem ist that the partitions who should be ro are mounted rw. So i guess the CF would last long.
      I executed /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro but mount -p still shows:

      /dev/ufs/pfsense0 / ufs sync,noatime 1 1
      devfs /dev devfs rw 0 0
      /dev/md0 /tmp ufs rw 2 2
      /dev/md1 /var ufs rw 2 2
      /dev/ufs/cf /cf ufs sync,noatime 1 1
      devfs /var/dhcpd/dev devfs rw 0 0

      How is this possible? Only used the snort stable package for a short time. But its removed already.
      Any idea how i can fix this? Or for what i can look? I am a but clueless right now.

        This is a known bug. http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1279
        It won't cause your CF card to fail though since nothing writes to the card anyway. Mounting it RO just ensures this.

          If you do this from the shell, instead of the WebGUI, it shows the ro flag.

          EDIT- Here is the command from the same box ssh first, and then Diag, Command

          _/dev/ufs/pfsense0      /                      ufs    ro,sync,noatime        1 1
          devfs                  /dev                    devfs  rw              0 0
          /dev/md0                /tmp                    ufs    rw              2 2
          /dev/md1                /var                    ufs    rw              2 2
          /dev/ufs/cf            /cf                    ufs    ro,sync,noatime        1 1
          devfs                  /var/dhcpd/dev          devfs  rw              0 0

          /dev/ufs/pfsense0 / ufs sync,noatime 1 1
          devfs /dev devfs rw 0 0
          /dev/md0 /tmp ufs rw 2 2
          /dev/md1 /var ufs rw 2 2
          /dev/ufs/cf /cf ufs sync,noatime 1 1
          devfs /var/dhcpd/dev devfs rw 0 0_

            Hmm, that's pretty odd!  ???

            Are you logged in as admin or root at the shell?

                Diag > Command will always show rw because it switches to rw to run your command.

                Only when viewed from the shell on the console/ssh will you see ro.
