Proxy server question

Jamerson

I did explain earlier that when they reference /dev/ada1, you would use/dev/da1. When they use /dev/ada1p1, you would use /dev/da1s1. p means partition, s means slice, but they are basically the same.

is exactly what i am doing
[2.2-RELEASE][root@firewall.pfsense.lan]/root: newfs -U /dev/da1s1
newfs: /dev/da1s1: could not find special device
[2.2-RELEASE][root@firewall.pfsense.lan]/root:

I lost track. Are you still trying to figure out how to cache dynamic content? Don't waste too much time. OK?

OK, this one's on me. When using gpart, it will make a partition, not a slice. Try:

newfs -U /dev/da1p1
mkdir /newdisk
mount /dev/da1p1 /newdisk

We're still going over Unix disk basics at this point.

You probably have to give the proxy user ownership of the folder:

chown proxy:proxy /your_disk_mount_point
