I don't recommend using USB thumb drives. They don't wear level the writes. And in my world, small logwrites are far more dangerous than the once in a while dist-upgrade. Nevertheless, you said it's a testing environment. Then right after the installation loads, type: linux ext4 swapsize=1...

Hello, excuse me for asking, but why such trouble with pfSense? Do you want to use pfSense as a convenient way for administering the packet filter? Personally I wouldn't go the route of DMZ and make the GUI avaiable on the WAN port and so on. Way too many vectors for my taste. If you mess up...

I agree to the route of implementing it into the GUI. A warning sign may be appropriate, that's for the dev team to decide since they know the target group. On the other hand, it's a virt platform. Does the average Joe use such a platform? Highly unlikely. And in my opinion it's not rocket...

A "real" hw RAID Controller costs what? 400 - 500 bucks? I doubt that such a chip is soldered to your mb. Why are people opposed to mdadm? It's perfectly stable, backwards compatible into the 90's (literally) and first and foremost, it's portable. I somehow believe that's a terminology problem...

Re: New Mini-itx Proxmox Build There is nothing wrong with my statement. I said that a P4 would be the minimum I'd throw on a pfSense. I also said that nearly any atom would do fine. I installed one of those atoms at a friends' house. 15 Watts, approx. 20 by 20 cm, pico PSU, and "massive heat...

I totally agree, ultimately the last safetynet is me, the human admin. But I want to express the point that lack of concentration + a design implementiation which begs for such an event = catastrophe, that's all. I'm fairly educated when it comes to the function of the human brain / psychology...

Re: New Mini-itx Proxmox Build One more thing I absolutely want to make clear. It's slightly OT that's why I'm posting seperately: Do not use pfSense withtin a VM unless it's for testing purposes. If you want pfSense as a router/firewall for your home network, use an old machine. I don't know...

Re: New Mini-itx Proxmox Build Hi Ivan, well a few, if not many, things worry me. 1. Don't u ever use USB! No, the "home server" argument isn't one, at all! Do you want to rebuild from backups (which doesn't always work smoothly) in your sparetime, weekends? No you don't. USB thumb drives are...

Dear proxmox community, I'm Johannes, old (well above 30, so yes, old... ;)) and my first post regards to an improvement of the webinterface. It's easy to implement, extremely useful for admins like me it will (at some point in future) save your soul. What happened to me a few hours ago: Came...
