I'm using some cheap soho router, but it is very limited in features and not supported anymore, so I want to change it for something better. I have some spare pcengines/apa board so I want to build small OPNsense-box, but I'm not sure if it can survive hard power-off (I mean not clean shutdown over web-interface, but simply pull the power cord off).

With my old crappy router I do not care about clean shutdown at all. I simply turn power off, and that's it. Maybe it is using some read-only fs? Anyway, it survives this hard treatment. What about OPNsense? What filesystem is it using? Can I simply power it off?

Just for comparison: openwrt is using ubifs/jffs2 overlayed over read-only squashfs, so it can easily survive hard reset. How is it with OPNsense? Don't I breake filesystem if I turn it off in hard way?
