Hi all, I’ve read[¹] that the new nethsecurity 8.8 implement the dhcp.leases in a persistent partition in a way that dns know leases even after a reboot. In the bug report I can read what happens to dhcp.leases when a persistent partition is added or removed but no mention about when a nethsecurity with persistent partition is upgraded to 8.8… and that’s my case 
Well that’s what happens:
root@nethsecurity:~# cat /etc/os-release

VERSION=“8.8.0”

root@nethsecurity:~# uci get dhcp.ns_dnsmasq.leasefile
/tmp/dhcp.leases
root@nethsecurity:~# mount | grep /mnt/data
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/data type ext4 (rw,relatime)
Now how can I move the dhcp.leases to /mnt/data?
I have to make it manually in a way like this one?
PERSISTENT_FOLDER=/mnt/data DHCP_FOLDER=$PERSISTENT_FOLDER mkdir $DHCP_FOLDER /etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop [ -f "$(uci get dhcp.ns_dnsmasq.leasefile)" ] && cp $(uci get dhcp.ns_dnsmasq.leasefile) $DHCP_FOLDER && uci set dhcp.ns_dnsmasq.leasefile="$DHCP_FOLDER/dhcp.leases" && uci commit dhcp /etc/init.d/dnsmasq start
Do you suggest other ways?
