I recently built a pfsense box & I've found that the dedicated pfsense forum isn't fond of fielding questions that are more basic. Maybe you guys can help me out.
I have a few questions.
1. Does anyone have a cheat sheet or solid walkthrough for certain ssh commands? Here's an example of what I've having problems with:
If I type in "/boot/loader.conf.local", I get permission denied & I can't find out why as it's too basic of a question. I've tried other walkthroughs & the commands either do not work or I don't have permission. I can't log in under su.
2. This follows questions one, but how do you increase mbuf max? It's 25600 by default. I read that intel nics require a higher mbuf max & I don't want kernel panics.
3. Has anyone set up a dual SSD pfsense box?
I have a spare samsung 840 250gb drive. The OS right now resides on a 30gb msata toshiba. I was thinking of using the 840 as a cache drive. Good idea, bad idea?
Thanks in advance to anyone fielding these n00b questions. At least installing 2.1.4 w/ intel i210 nics went almost as smooth as butter.

Login with SSH and open the shell.
Run /usr/local/sbin/ufslabels.sh
Add the line ahci_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf.local
reboot the machine
Login with SSH and open the shell
touch /root/TRIM_set; /etc/rc.reboot
