Hello!
As you have probably noticed, big CF cards are now cheap, about 10e/ 1Gb. As m0n0wall default image is for 16 Mb cards, it feels stupid and unreasonable to not to use rest of the space example for logging.
Could it be possible to add function to m0n0 "incrase filesystem size to media size", so m0nwall could use growfs etc commands to perform this operation. The "catch" in this would bee that now m0n0 cann be released as 16 Mb cf image, but increase the fs later, if m0n0 is installed to bigger card.

Comments?

m0n0wall doesn't run from the CF, it extracts to RAM at boot and runs entirely from RAM. You can't reasonably log or write much to a CF anyway, they have a limited write lifetime that would kill the card within a year or so if you did something like that.
