      Ah, does the widget read the filesystem or just the setting?

        It reads the filesystem. The same logic as the test on Diag > NanoBSD that lists the current status of the fs

              I wanted to try 2.1 (dec 07 snapshot) on my Alix box at home and unfortunately I have this issue when saving changes. I have a generic, no brand 4GB CF card.
              I tried the workaround of switching to RW before making changes and it seems to work much better.

                As another data point to eliminate… Tried two different thing:
                1. Enabled write caching
                2. Switched the underlying fs from UFS to UFS2

                Neither made any improvements in speed.

                  Ermal committed this patch https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-tools/commit/008742971cb44d8c0f81929504ab7330442c4ba4 and I would really like to try it out. For some reason it is 16 hours now and no new snapshot has appeared. Is there a problem with the snapshot builder making this? Or will I find that a new snapshot appears 5 minutes after I post this?

                  I have a nanobsd Alix system that I am currently setting up that exhibits all the symptoms and it is easy for me to upgrade and test.
                  Edit: I see Jimp just bumped 2.1 to BETA1 - maybe that is a sign that this long-standing nanobsd issue is fixed.

                  As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

                    working on getting the ports up to date on the snapshot builder. We've had a few fixes in pfPorts lately and freebsd bumped some versions in things like pcre, so I'm trying to get everything building happily yet.

                    His fix does work, I have a card here that was taking ~40s to switch back and now it's under 1s. It'll just be a few more hours until the snaps are going again.

                      Well this is brilliant news.  :)
                      I eagerly await new snaphots for testing.

                          New BETA1 snaps should be up and ready to go. Confirmed my alix works great still on what used to be a slow card.

                            Celebration time - it works! I have upgraded my test system, then a half-dozen other Alix nanobsd systems. They all respond to mount readonly in under a second now. Thanks Ermal, Jimp and all those who have spent time investigating this. Where do we send the chocolates and flowers?  :)
