Yes I went from 386.5_2 today to 386.10 and there's a big jump.
Here it is before the upgrade:
And directly after:
Running the command you mentioned above does save some space:
But it's still significantly increased with no identifiable reason as to why.
Yes you're right, thank you.
However this case is a little different, and the error is coming from inability for DHCP to allocate and NVRAM is full (when I check). At least, in the case that's been happening more frequently the last couple of months.
As someone who is experiencing daily crashes due to NVRAM running out on RT-AC68U with 386.5_2, I'm fine with limiting OpenVPN and would encourage it (I use 1 OpenVPN server).
Stability above all else at this point with this old hardware, imo.
Thanks for this thread.
I continue to have problems with 2x RT-AC68U routers in AiMesh on 386.5_2. I have to reboot them everyday now or they go out of memory with errors like:

That's what makes this sad. I still need to revert to the same very old firmware version when I need to setup my AiMesh from scratch again on RT-AC68U devices. It's never been fixed.
I have 2x RT-AC68U running in a mesh. The main router appears to have CPU1 stuck at 100% usage:
When I SSH in and use the top command I can see it's the wred process:
This is after only 2 days of uptime (my router auto reboots every 2 days).

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I use the JFFS for anything in particular, do I still need to back it up? If so, how do I do that?
I'm also not sure how it could go beyond 48, I haven't done anything with it. For example, "Enable JFFS custom scripts and configs" is set to "No"
What setup? It's literally a vanilla install with most stuff disabled and 1 aimesh node. This has been going on for months but never as bad as 386.7. I mentioned it many times, like here in January:

I upgraded my RT-AC68U from 386.5_2 to 386.7 and it's going down every 4-5 hours. The basic errors are:

Hi, yes that's true it's similar although the error is different so I thought maybe it was a different error.
As a note though I stopped running the backup since then, and haven't run it for a long time now so this can't be from that anymore. I was hoping no longer running the backup would...
