The PowerBox storage architecture is a little funky. There is 16MB of permanent flash. But any file uploaded outside the "flash folder" (which you would do with upgrade packages) actually goes into RAM, so the 16MB is not a limitation (you have 64MB, minus whatever your router is using).
The limitation is that only the flash folder is true permanent storage — everything else disappears at reboot. For upgrade packages that doesn't matter. If you store any other files on the router outside the flash folder, they will disappear. This is particularly problematic for log files. Normunds warns that "We are starting to move to SPI FLASH in newer products, so please take it into account that you will need a device with USB/microSD or other storage slot.". (Ironically, they manufactured the PowerBox with no USB or storage slots.) :-( > On Nov 18, 2015, at 2:18 PM, Josh Luthman <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> wrote: > > How are you supposed to upgrade???
