I've been playing around with DIAL on a RPi and noticed something strange today. If I create a dir or file in /var/log and reboot, it is gone. Anyone else see this? Sincerely, boB - W5EVH
Bob, The current version of DIAL for the RPi has a simple log to RAM. It's purpose is to reduce the number of writes to the SD card. The log is not saved over a reboot. The release candidate for the RPi flushes the log to disk every hour and on reboot, along with a number of other improvements. The "Release Candidate" is available at <http://tinyurl.com/DIAL-RAT-RC1> 73, Steve N4IRS On 9/20/2016 1:19 PM, Bob Roszkowski wrote:

OIC This makes sense. If I leave the system running for a day, it should save the logs, right? Is there a command to force write all logs to SD? Sincerely, boB - W5EVH On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 12:25 PM, Steve Zingman <szingman@msgstor.com> wrote:

It never writes logs to the SD. As I said, simple. On 9/20/2016 1:39 PM, Bob Roszkowski wrote:
