Hi all
First time post so please be gentle
I recently purchased an Asus RT-AC68U router and installed the Merlin firmware which has been quite brilliant.
I've been learning about the features and what not day by day.
I have a question regarding moving over traffic.db and syslog.log over to a connected USB Drive permanently. Is it possible? I've read that constant writes to the /JFFS partition counts towards the finite write cycles it has. Now, the write cycles may be a large number but I've noticed the sizes of these files growing. Currently the traffic.db sits at around 3.7 MB and syslog at 255KB. It's the traffic.db I'm more concerned about as it grows ever so larger on a daily basis.
It would be great to move these over permanently to a USB Drive and not have to worry about wearing out the flash. Please bear in mind, I'm mostly a novice when it comes to scripting and command lines etc. I know the basics and my way around using SSH such as changing directories, copying, etc. But anything with a lot of syntax and commands will have me lost so please bear with me
Much appreciated.
