Running pfSense 1.2 embedded on an Alix box.

While doing some configuration changes today, we ran into a situation
where we somehow lost part of our configuration (some of our VPN
definitions and all of our Virtual IPs).

Upon perusing the logs, we found that /cf had filled up. Logged in,
and sure enough, it had filled up.

pfsense:/cf/conf#  df -h
Filesystem             Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ufs/pfSense       111M     58M     44M    57%    /
devfs                  1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev
/dev/md0                38M    1.8M     34M     5%    /tmp
/dev/md1                19M    5.2M     12M    29%    /var
/dev/ufs/pfSenseCfg    1.8M    1.7M   -7.0K   100%    /cf
devfs                  1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /var/dhcpd/dev

Looking in /cf, the largest culprit was a rrd.tgz file which was about
1MB, but the rest of the files only took up a bit over 300k (there are
5 backups of the config and each config is about 50KB each), so it
looks like there are possibly some deleted files sitting around that a
process is still hanging on to taking up the other 300-400KB?

pfsense:/cf/conf#  ls -l
total 1101
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel      512 Dec 11 15:04 backup
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    52276 Dec 11 15:45 config.xml
-rw-r-----  1 root  wheel        0 Nov  6  2004 ez-ipupdate.cache
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1062656 May  5  2008 rrd.tgz

Since the rrd.tgz hadn't been updated in ages, we've deleted that file
for now. We're not even sure what it's used for.

Any ideas?  Is this something that's handled better in 1.2.1RC?

Thanks

Dave
