      Hi,
      I'm using /var in RAM (SSD use), and the log files used for my lightsquid statistics seems not to be saved on disk periodically nor at each reboot.
      Each time I reboot, I loose all stats.
      Do you have a workaround for this, or do I have to disable /var in RAM?
      Best regards

        /var in RAM is not intended for persistent data in that way. There are mechanisms in the base to back up RRD and DHCP leases periodically but nothing else.

          OK, thanks jimp.
          I'll have to change path for these logs.
