setting up usb for protect vault
-
Just downloaded on my Mac air etcher and pfSense to Scandisk 32 gb usb drive to put on Protectli vault and wanted to check that all the files downloaded correctly before loading them but can't access the files. etcher setup the usb to 3 partitions with the bulk in the second partitions! Is this normal setup screen shot included in show preview don't want to load it until I'm sure it won't create a problem.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks -
Yes, that's normal.
The main partition is UFS. There is a smaller fat32 partition with the license doc on it that you can also use for config recovery at install.Steve

Protectli Vault works with zero issues. Once installed and configured, you will never touch it again.

I 'd like to ask one more question . I used a 32 g usb pfSense is only 8g aprox I tried to load ubuntu on and it said not enough space only 37 kb left can't figure out what else is on there. any thoughts on whats happening.

Hmm, unclear what you did here. The pfSense installer is <1GB.
Did you install to USB?
Why are you trying to install Ubuntu to the same drive?

@stephenw10
thought I could load kali on the vault as well and set up logs to check security .
etcher doesn't show much information when used to load pfsense. not sure how to use (sha) to verify file size when downloaded. -

hought I could load kali on the vault
So you want to dual boot? Or you thought you could run at the same time? If you want to run multiple oses really on any hardware, you would have to do it with a hypervisor. Or old school dual booting, etc.

Yup, that ^. You can't run pfSense and something else there unless both are virtualised.
