Use of the HD
-
The installation of PFSENSE asks for fewer resources, I would like to know later it consumes many disk space or not? PSFENSE stock many data on the hard disk? If yes, what is the recommended capacity? How long can make the server without worrying about the disk space?
Thank you. -
The base system will not grow much, if at all, once installed.
If you add packages, however, then the usage can increase greatly – depending on the package. So the short answer is, you can get away with quite a small HDD (if you can find anything less than 20GB new, even just 8-10 would suffice, and be way more than enough).
If you are worried, you can use the embedded images, which would never grow past their initial size (512MB, 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB) though of course they can fill up, again, if you load packages which use lots of disk space.
