Hi,
m0n0wall gets around this by running out of RAM after booting from flash (or CD, or hard disk):
Yes, I know both m0n0wall and pfSense, but I prefer a custom FreeBSD installation since I have developed some custom scripts which I would like to use. This is what I am trying to do now - booting the system from flash IDE drive, creating mfs filesystems for /tmp and /var (just enabling them in rc.conf) and mounting all the partitions read-only. And of course I configured syslog to log to some remote host. So when I need to make a configuration change (rc.conf, dhcpd.conf), I just remount / or /usr read-write temporariliy, make the change and then remount back to read-only. This way, I guess, there will be minimal writes to the drive. Now I plan to do some power outage testing. Will let you know. Thanks to all of you, Nejc _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
