It wasn’t too bad! The IPFire backup/restore made the rebuild very easy! Now I have LOTS of space available:
[root@ipfire ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 1.9G 4.0K 1.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 1.9G 480K 1.9G 1% /run
/dev/sda4 58G 1.5G 53G 3% / <<<<
/dev/sda1 110M 31M 71M 31% /boot
/dev/sda2 32M 242K 32M 1% /boot/efi
/var/lock 8.0M 12K 8.0M 1% /var/lock
I still have some custom items to restore like pmacct and a few scripts I added for OpenVPN.
Things restored that I didn’t expect:
- Public key based authentication (SSL key for console, sftp, scp, etc.)
- Fireinfo profile ID
Things that didn’t start (not Enabled):
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
- Ruleset Settings - had to click Save.
- Settings - had to click Save.
- OpenVPN
- was running on system before rebuild
- I need to look into it…
The above is an FYI for others. Not a complaint in any way shape or form!
I updated the Intel J1900 (Qotom Q1900G4) BIOS firmware but it did not make any difference is the listed Processor Vulnerability Mitigations. (yes, I was hoping!) So I’m not sure if it will help anything. I was unable to locate a change log for the BIOS upgrade.
