Proxy server question

KOM

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

Thank you KOM
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 ?

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
[2.2-RELEASE][root@firewall.pfsense.lan]/root:

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.

Yeah - Its a nice mental exercise and is good to know (-:

Mucht appreciate really and your patients as well

You probably have to give the proxy user ownership of the folder:

chown proxy:proxy /your_disk_mount_point
