Is it normal for OPNsense to have constant disk write? zpool iostat 1 shows that every 5 seconds there are write operations.

Thanks.

under /var /tmp in ramdisk to reduce writes to the drives (similar to zram-config or log2ram)

In fact..PROXMOX is based upon debian...you can probably install log2ram and have it prevent writes but once a day (or set it for 1 hr vs constantly if you like your log files)
