      Hello there…!

      For the first, i'll apologize for my bad english, but feel free to pin something out that you didn't understand in my text :-)

      I have some trouble upgrading my pfSense box with some more storage, without reinstalling, but just adding a HDD/SSD more to the system at then format/mount it to the pfSense.

      My plan is to install a Samsung SSD with 128GB of storage, for only using it for my "SQUID Proxy Server" as web cache, i've come so far to install the SDD in the system, but i have trouble format/mounting it to the OS, so i can use it as cache space for SQUID.

      I have tried many guides, many commands and so on, but nothing have worked for me jet :-(

      I hope that there are some geniuses nice guys that would like to help me with this :-)

      My machine i have pfSense 2.4.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) on is a GIADA F102D... don't blame me for the small hardware, it's actually running like a charm :-)

      Cheers! :-)

            Adding new drive for squid cache drive

            try to mount on /var/squid/cache as gui default

            exp : your ssd as ada1

            gpart create -s gpt ad1
            gpart show ada6
            gpart add -t freebsd-ufs ada1
            newfs /dev/ada1p1
            gpart show

            now your ssd as /dev/ada1p1
            then try to mount as proxy cache drive >>> mount /dev/ada1p1 /var/squid/cache
            then ckeck list all drive >> df -h

            Dont forget to lock your drive to system at fstab.*  ( edit file at /etc/fstab.*)

            add this to fstab >> /dev/ada1p1      /var/squid/cache  ufs  rw,noatime        2  2

            Good luck  ;)
