Hello David...
This is eaxctly what I want to work on.... :)
I came to this list and was given only two options...
1) use nanofrebsd...
2) use regular hardrive...
I din't like either one....
My needs were exactly like yours....FreeSwitch and Squid...
I am pretty good with hardware, but terrible with software... :(
I have such beast running, but I am not happy with the setup, since I am
using a microdrive...
What I did was a dual CF card adapter...the CF is read only....and the
microdrive...well..you know...all the other stuff...
I will like to replace the microdrive with an electronic storage device, but
haven't found one not affected by the limitations of the writes on the
hardware... :(
Anyone know more about this??????????????????????????

Subject: [pfSense Support] hybrid storage?
I've been happily using 1.2.3-RC1 for many months now on a Soekris
net5501 and a 100GB 2.5" SATA drive. I like the idea of an embedded
system on a CF card, but that's not possible or advisable for me as
I'm running the squid and freeswitch packages.
I was wondering however, if it would be difficult, inadvisable, or of
no advantage to hack together an embedded system to run from a
read-only CF card that mounts certain filesystems on writable media,
such as a hard drive, where temp data such as disk cache and audio
recordings would live.
I don't know a tonne about the innards of pfsense and I've never
played with the nanoBSD version. Is this something that would work in
principle? Would it exploit the benefits of a read-only root
filesystem (cold-reset resiliency, improved fs security, system
responsiveness)? Would it require a lot of messing, besides manually
altering /etc/fstab?
Just wondering.
