Hi, i have an appliance with 8 GB RAM. i see a TMPFS of 4 GB.
in 3 days Tmpfs gets full and vpn, GUI, and some services stop working and i need to reboot.
I see these files in /tmp
It seems related to netifyd.
I’m using the latest patched version and this is a new fresh install
Thanks
Are there errors about netifyd in the logs?
Let’s check the netifyd status:
netifyd -s | grep -v UUID
A workaround is to reinstall the package:
opkg install --force-reinstall netifyd
We’re investigating the issue, could you send me privately the core dumps? I am not being able to reproduce it yet.

Thanks. Reinstalled, i have this output:
Collected errors:
Worry not of the conffiles, it’s opkg saying that something changed in the config and won’t overwrite it. The update went good.
Rolled now an update for netifyd that avoids the fill, seems that the daemon crashes frequently on some systems, I’ve reached the developers in the meantime to figure out what is going on.
