How do I tell which Image I have installed?
-
Sorry for the stupid question…
I forgot the size of the CF in my alix box, so I'm not sure what image to use for the upgrade to RC3... I ran df and I believe it told me the size is 512Mb approx, so is this the size of one slice? does this mean I need to use the 1gb image or the 512mb image. Is there a cmd that can be run to display which version is being used?
Thanks

I think you're on the right track with "df". I'm running a 2GB image:
router:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ufs/pfsense0 913M 79M 761M 9% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/md0 38M 4.0K 35M 0% /var/tmp /dev/md1 58M 5.0M 48M 9% /var /dev/ufs/cf 49M 1.0M 44M 2% /cf devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /var/dhcpd/devEach slice is less than 1GB. The "cf" partition rounds it out. Don't forget the developers shrunk the slice sizes a little to accommodate slightly smaller CF cards.

On new snapshots you should also be able to do:
cat /etc/nanosize.txt
Though you can also figure it out with df, fdisk /dev/ad0, boot0cfg -v /dev/ad0, etc. As with many unix processes, there are multiple ways to get to the same conclusion.
fdisk may be easiest though:
alix:/etc# fdisk /dev/ad0
******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=7964 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=7964 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 63, size 3861585 (1885 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 758/ head 15/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 3861711, size 3861585 (1885 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 759/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 493/ head 15/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 7723296, size 102816 (50 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 494/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 595/ head 15/ sector 63
The data for partition 4 is:
<unused>alix:/etc#Or if you want to get fancy:
alix:/etc# fdisk /dev/ad0 | grep Meg | cut -f2 -d'(' | cut -f1 -d' ' | awk '{s+=$1} END {print s}'
3820So I have a 4GB image (3820MB)</unused>

Consider this a Request for Enhancement. Please add the exact version including the image size in the System Overview page where the firmware version is displayed. Another place to display the exact image name such as "pfSense-1.2.3-1g-20091011-1525-nanobsd.img.gz" would be in System: Firmware: Manual Update. Thank you.

That information is not retained after updating, the filename doesn't really matter at that point.
The NanoBSD size will already be displayed in the gui on newer snapshots under Diagnostics > NanoBSD.
See:
https://rcs.pfsense.org/projects/pfsense/repos/mainline/commits/c43ed2f92df169a80b81feb85d80223e9710ac5bI'll put it on my TODO list to add that to the dashboard system info as well.
