TomatoUSB

Hey guys. I just loaded up my Netgear WR3500L with the latest Toastman build (tomato-K26USB-1.28.7481MIPSR2-Toastman-RT-VPN.trx), and while the CIFS share mounts just fine, reports proper disk usage and free space and everything, I cannot get bandwidth logging to work when saving to the CIFS share.

Bandwidth logging also works fine when saving to RAM, but as soon as I change it to "CIFS1" after making sure the share is mounted, I go to the "Daily", "Weekly", or "monthly" bandwidth sections and all I get is the error message "The rstats program is not responding or is busy."

Thing is that I know it works with (vanilla) Tomato 1.28 just fine. I just verified this again. No changes were made to the share permissions or anything else other than the firmware. The share can be written to by any device on the network. I'd think it has to be a bug with rstats or something in the Toastman builds.

Please let me know if anyone has any idea of how to get this working. Right now all I'm able to do is log to RAM, which of course will be lost next time the router is rebooted or loses power.

I can't cast much light on this. I don't have a 3500L, but I just tried it on RT-N16 and also E3000 and both worked instantly, a 1KB file appeared in the appropriate directory showing just 0.39GB of downloads. After more logging, more stats started to appear and everything works as it should. It's possible the 3500L compile has something odd about it, but I'd rather doubt it. One thing - did you erase NVRAM after flashing Tomato ?

Maybe someone else who has one may offer some comment?

I did erase the nvram. Clean install.

Ah, I figured out what the problem was. It was trying to load the original bandwidth log file from my old Tomato load rather than creating a new log file. Didn't even think to check this for some stupid reason.

Disregard.
