[FIXED] Use Ramdisk

LostInIgnorance · Jan 11, 2018, 4:13 PM

I have to say, this dialog box is quite confusing. I have made no changes to the firewall regarding the ramdisk and this dialog box pops up. I would think either:
A) only pop up after a change
B) reworded to not confuse the end user as the OK reboots immediately regardless of ramdisk change, cancel bypasses the reboot.

I too have wondered about this. I , made a change to the crypto module under advance -> miscellaneous and got the same message. Didn't really want to restart my firewall at that time but I didn't want the changes I made to not be saved so I restarted the firewall.

There was a fix put in for that in 2.4.3

Try using the system patches package to apply the changes from the PR and see if it helps: https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/pfsense/pfsense/pull/3776.diff

Probably should have mentioned, I am on the latest dev release and the issue still persisits.

When testing the patch, I am getting the below error.

usr/bin/patch --directory=/ -t -p1 -i /var/patches/5a3b04d45e9e7.patch --check --forward --ignore-whitespace

Set the path strip level to 2

Same window appears when "saving" a change as above with the patch applied. No changes made to ramdisk.

I'm still having issues with this dialog displaying. Now on the latest nightly, the dialog box appears as soon as you go to the miscellaneous tab.

The ramdisk pop-up seems to have been caused by PR 3776. The issue should be corrected in the next snap

LostInIgnorance · Jan 11, 2018, 4:15 PM

With the newest snapshot 2.4.3-DEVELOPMENT (amd64) built on Wed Jan 10 20:07:40 CST 2018 FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p6, the issue has been fixed.
THANKS!!
