      Hello All. I have a pfsense 2.25 and I am almost out of HDD space. I would like to add a USB Drive to the mix. Does anyone know how to incorporate more HDD to it. freeBSD white papers don't work.

      Thank you all in advance.

      Robert

        Huh ???  What do you mean by 'don't work'?  Why not find out where all your space went and fix the root problem?  If you're having trouble simply adding a disk, what are you going to do once you have it mounted??  pfSense won't just automagically use it for anything.

          There's no mix to add anything to. Make a configuration backup, get a bigger HDD, reinstall and restore the backup.

          P.S. Anything USB-based is strongly discouraged.
