      Hey guys,

      I have switched to 2.0-RC2 (i386, nanoBSD 1GB, Built On: Mon May 23 03:00:00 EDT 2011) on my ALIX (former IPCOP).
      Most things are working fine.

      But now i got stuck since days setting up SquidGuard.

      When I try to download and update the Blacklist, it doesn't work at all and I get some errors in the system.log like:

      … out of swap space ...
      ... /tmp disk full ...

      I've tried several thing, including resizing /dev/md0 from boot (/tmp) up to 200m.
      It seems to me, that either I can have enough space on /tmp to download an unpack the blacklist file or have enough free mem. I haven't found a size of /tmp which will work.

      I have also seen error messages in the log related to the SquidGuard update script (.../dev/md15 is not mounted, /tmp/SquidGuard is not found) but I have solved these problems by manually mkdir the folder in /tmp before I start the download/update of Blacklists.

      May using a USB stick as /tmp in a certain size solve my problem, or have I made something different wrong...

      Every help is highly appreciated. I have not planned to go back to IPCOP ;-)

      Frank

          It is unlikely you will ever get blacklists to work on ALIX.

          The error messages you show indicate a lack of RAM and other related errors (/tmp is a RAM disk and it's also probably full)
