Standard Hardware:

Please consult the Barracuda Networks Technical Support for information on Barracuda NG Firewall 5.0.3 on standard hardware..

If you are going to upgrade standard hardware or phion netfence hardware to Barracuda NG Firewall 5.0.3, please 

ensure that at least 2 GB of free storage space is available on the root partition. If this minimum amount of space is 

not available, Barracuda Networks highly recommends to re-install the system with a larger root partition instead of 

upgrading. On appliances with hard disk, the upgrade package requires additionally another 2 GB of free storage 

space on the /phion0 partition for storing temporary data. This additional space is not necessary on Flash based 

appliances.
