Memory allocation error / write error

[geko53]

After an uptime of about 15 days my syslog suddenly is flooded with write errors:

Nov 10 15:23:28 dnsmasq-dhcp[596]: failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device (retry in 60s)

What did happen here? I'm running an USB drive with 500 GB space mounted on USB1, on USB2 a GSM Modem (HUAWEI E372) is mounted. Firmware: 3.0.0.4.246.19b (Merlin build) (RT-N66U).

Any explanation? After rebooting the device the issue doesn't show any longer, but I would prefer to understand what had happened...

Something was leaking memory, until your router eventually ran out of it.

I suspect the leak is in AiCloud, I noticed myself that the lighttpd-arpping process was eating 99 MB of RAM on my router a few days ago, which isn't normal.

Tx for your quick response, Merlin. Do you know any remedy against that leak? It would be very annoying if I would have to shut down AICloud as I'm using that feature in daily work...

I guess you could configure your router to reboot itself in the middle of the night. Creating a services-start script with this command would do that:

#!/bin/sh
cru a reboot 0 3 * * * reboot

Good idea - I'll give it a try!

cru a reboot 0 3 * * * reboot

Note.. I followed this and got errors. I had to use quotes:

#!/bin/sh
cru a reboot "0 3 * * * reboot"
