CF not working RB1000 ROS 3.6

RouterOS General
1

I am setting up my new RB1000. I am trying to set up the IP Proxy. I have a 4 GB CF card. I am using RouterOS 3.6.

I formatted the CF.
/ip proxy format-drive CompactFlash
I set the cache drive to the CF and set the size.
/ip proxy set cache-drive=CompactFlash max-cache-size=unlimited
I set up the firewall rules and started it.
Then if I look at what it is using it appears to be using the system drive
[admin@BuccaNET] > /ip proxy print

It’s not running now because I turned it back off. Am I reading it wrong or did I miss something?

Thanks,

Enable ‘ip proxy set cache-on-disk=yes’.
Then it should save cache to CF drive.

I got proxy working without any problems on my RB1000 and Compact Flash.

what kind of CF is it? We tested with A-Data Speedy and Sandisk. Some others have issues.

Thanks for the reply. I will check when I get back to it. If I set the max cache size to a number, it sets it o 453MB.

You need to set cache-on-disk=yes

Thank you that worked. Do you suggest getting the high speed CF? Will it be able to use it?

Thanks,

The problem was with access speed. Do not use 133x and 266x CF cards. It is not supported.

no! they work fine. the problem is with certain brand controllers. use SANDISK, A-DATA - they are tested and work. Even fast ones
