Good morning. I just configured a new PBE-M5-620 and noticed that the free flash memory was low. None of these nodes are running anything other than the lastest stable release of AREDN firmware, 3.20.3.1. Looking around the mesh a little, it looks like most similar nodes are in the same boat.
PBE-M5-620
free space
flash: 788 KB
/tmp: 29932 KB
memory: 43012 KB
Then I checked my Rockets and there pretty close to the same:
M2
free space
flash: 904 KB
/tmp: 29732 KB
memory: 41672 KB
M5
free space
flash: 884 KB
/tmp: 29864 KB
memory: 41648 KB
I assume this is an OK amount of free flash space, right?

'flash' is the read-only memory.
Can be as low as 0.
I think.
Click on 'Help':
Free space tells you how much space is available on local storage devices.
Flash is the internal non-volatile storage where the operating system, configuration files, and software packages are kept.
/tmp is a filesystem in RAM that stores the current state information and various temporary files.
Memory is the amount of RAM available for running processes.
