      #: 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

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

                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.

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

                      chown proxy:proxy /your_disk_mount_point
