hi there,

first of all, Kong, thanx for the excellent work - now my WRT610n V2 does fulfill all my requirements ...

but speaking of requirements, I had an issue with minidlna dying, so I started it wanting it to redirect the output into a fil "/usr/sbin/minidlna -d -f /tmp/minidlna.conf > /var/log/dlna.log" - when I checked after e period of time I realized the file is empty, same for smb.log and messages.

when I check the disk space df -h it shows that 100% are used, so I wonder how this can be done - by the way my attached drive is ext3 - so probably redirecting /var is an option??

I use the dd-wrt-usb-ftp-samba3-dlna-O2-v24-K26-broadcom.bin (15510M) image

regards

r4n

if you want to debug minidlna you have to start it in debug mode:

minidlna -d

samba is completely stripped, debugging is not complied in.

/ is 100% but if you run:

ls -la /

you will see /var is a linkt to /tmp/var

and var is in ram, seen if calling command:

mount

thanks Kong, for the clarification and the excellent work again

well what I tried to achieve, rather than having all the output on the console I wanted to write it to the logs directory, but it still creates a 0byte file ... will play around with this, I have seen that /var is ramfs so I probably write to my mounted disk instead, cheers
