Can't write my access.log on my mountet USB-Drive

[gucky66]

Hi everyone,

i use pfsense on an alix-board.
Now i want write logs from the squid-proxy at my mounted USB-Stick.

I mount it with

mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt

all ok.

But i get a Squid message:

Oct 17 12:06:54 squid[56522]: Cannot open '/mnt/access.log' for writing. The parent directory must be writeable by the user 'proxy', which is the cache_effective_user set in squid.conf.

When i try

chmod 777 /mnt

it happend nothing.

A other try was create a files in /mnt named access.log
and
chmod 777 access.log

But it haven't any result:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel        2 Oct 17 12:10 access.log

Can anyone help me?

thx gucky66

Change log folder owner to squid user.
Thats what squid is asking you todo.

After changing it, restart squid.

Hi marcelloc,

yes i want to do this, but first i try the chmod command.

But you see the result:

the access.log wasn't change.

May it's a problem with the
/ file system:
[root@pfSense.local]/mnt(73): mount
/dev/ufs/pfsense0 on / (ufs, local, read-only)
…

How can i change the read-only ?

[marcelloc]

I do not use pfsense on embended system.

So, not sure about this. Try to chance /etc/fstab.

On packages, we call a mount_rw funtion before write config files.

Hi, i find the solution:

i must change the read-only option:

with:
mount -uw /dev/ufs/pfsense0
it switched off

for switched on i use:
mount -ur /dev/ufs/pfsense0
