[Soekris] Net4801 - hard drive led (almost) always on.

Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 6.2-release on my net4801 on a 100 GB Seagate Momentus 7200.1 hard drive. Before installation I flashed the BIOS on the Soekris to 1.30, since the disksize reported by the BIOS was incorrect. The installation went smooth, however I'm a bit worried about the hard drive

[Soekris] using soekris to nat and firewall at LAN speeds

can the soekris handle being an internal firewall at 100mb/s? I have heard that CF cards can not handle all the reads/writes at this rate, can someone verify this for me. Also, I have heard that the bus for these appliances are not optimized to operate at LAN speeds, can you verify or elaborate

Re: [Soekris] USB Memory

Thanks again to all Adam it would appear you might know of some other limiting/bottlenecking factors. Care to share what might be more of a limiting factor than RAM? I would be most interested to know where the limits might/do exist. Thanks again to all Barry Adam Jacob Muller wrote: > > You

Re: [Soekris] USB Memory

Thanks All I'm not sure I need 2G of RAM. My idea is to run a 4801 with astlinux mainly as a firewall. I just didn't want to run out of memory. I already have a 512 CF. But don't want to find it bottlenecks due to memory shortage. Thank all for your input Barry __
