Proxy server question

Jamerson

You probably will not be able to cache this kind of dynamic content and if you wanto to do so I read somewhere that you need to allow to cache files with 4GB and more of size.

this exactly what i did, it used to work before after the update it stops working.
i had to remove the proxy filter now and use just the cashing. however I've attached a extra HDD just for the cashing with a lot of free space.
can someone please advise how to mount this a extra HDD to the Pfsense ?
i've add the hard disk the the pfsense .

[2.1.5-RELEASE][root@pfsense.lan]/root(2): cat /etc/fstab

Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#

/dev/da0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/da0s1b none swap sw 0 0

and

[2.1.5-RELEASE][root@pfsense.lan]/root(3): cat /etc/fstab
# Device		Mountpoint	FStype	Options		Dump	Pass#
/dev/da0s1a		/		ufs	rw		1	1
/dev/da0s1b		none		swap	sw		0	0

when i tried to mount the dev/das1b its comes back

[2.1.5-RELEASE][root@pfsense.lan]/root(5): mount- /dev/da0s1b
mount-: Command not found.

Hi,

I am not sure how it works but here ist some interesting link:
http://imroninfo.blogspot.de/2011/05/how-to-configure-squid-to-use-separate.html

An when looking at your description you should perhaps use /dev/da1s1a instead of da0s1b

[2.1.5-RELEASE][root@pfsense.lan]/root(5): mount- /dev/da0s1b
mount-: Command not found.

What's up with the dash at the end of the mount command?

Good catch KOM

thank you for the link,
i think i miss one step before which is to see which hdd are attached to the pfsense.
any suggestions which commands to use ?

when i run df-h command
it doesn't shows the second HDD is attached !
i am supposed to do something before it shows the attached second HDD ?

The second hard disk should show up as /dev/da1. If that isn't present then pfSense isn't detecting it.

The general syntax of the mount command is:

mount -options /dev/device_name# /folder_name

/folder_name must already exist. You can leave options blank for testing.

Here is how to add a disk to FreeBSD.

Note that the disk naming scheme is different so when they talk about /dev/ada1 and /dev/adap1, you should use /dev/da1 and /dev/da1s1 respectively.

i believe this for Sata Disk ,
i've ISCI Drive to the VM .
when i run df -h it doesn't shows the drive
i've deleted the disk and add it twice but the same result
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on

/dev/da0s1a 5.8G 1.1G 4.3G 20% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/md0 3.4M 116K 3.0M 4% /var/run
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /var/dhcpd/dev

i've ISCI Drive to the VM .

??? DO you mean SCSI or iSCSI? In my lab with VMware Workstation, I added a SCSI disk and it appeared as /dev/da1.

yes i meant the SCSI disk separate than the VM Disk, and is Thick Provision
after i updated to 2.2 i beleive it starts showing up the attached disks

df -h still doesn't shows the attached hdd
what i am doing wrong

KOM

I think df only shows mounted filesystems. Did you partition, format & mount your disk using the directions in the links I posted?

i am stuck at the first step when i run the command /var/run/dmesg.boot its said /var/run/dmesg.boot:not found
i already added to the disk

KOM

dmseg.boot is a log file. You don't run it; you view it with cat or a text editor.

OK, firs things first. What output do you get when you run the command:

ls /dev/da*

We need to see if pfSense even sees your disk at all. You are specifically looking for /dev/da1.

/dev/da0    /dev/da0s1  /dev/da0s1a /dev/da0s1b /dev/da1

Ok, so it sees your disk. I'm not sure what your problem is then. Just partition, format and mount it as per the guide I linked to:

# gpart create -s GPT da1
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs da1
# newfs -U /dev/da1s1
# mkdir /newdisk
# mount /dev/da1s1 /newdisk

Add this to /etc/fstab so that it mounts at boot:

/dev/da1s1	/newdisk	ufs	rw	2	2

the problem is when i run the command

newfs -U /dev/da1s1

it said command not found !

[2.2-RELEASE][root@firewall.pfsense.lan]/root: # newfs -U /dev/da1s1
#: Command not found.

#: Command not found.

The # character is meant to represent your shell prompt. You don't actually type that part. No wonder you've been having trouble.

sorry mommy mistake
does the commands that has /dev/da1s1 means /dev/da1 for me right ?
i believe dev/da1 is my current install pfsense and dev/da1pl1 is the attached disk ?

KOM

I did explain earlier that when they reference /dev/ada1, you would use/dev/da1. When they use /dev/ada1p1, you would use /dev/da1s1. p means partition, s means slice, but they are basically the same.

is exactly what i am doing
[2.2-RELEASE][root@firewall.pfsense.lan]/root: newfs -U /dev/da1s1
newfs: /dev/da1s1: could not find special device

I lost track. Are you still trying to figure out how to cache dynamic content? Don't waste too much time. OK?

KOM

newfs: /dev/da1s1: could not find special device

OK, this one's on me. When using gpart, it will make a partition, not a slice. Try:

newfs -U /dev/da1p1
mkdir /newdisk
mount /dev/da1p1 /newdisk

I lost track. Are you still trying to figure out how to cache dynamic content?

We're still going over Unix disk basics at this point.
