Hi,

I'm trying to get openvpn working on an AG241v2 running kamikaze openwrt.

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                    1664           1664         0 100% /
/dev/root               1664           1664         0 100% /rom
tmpfs                     6344           716      5628  11% /tmp
tmpfs                     512             0       512   0% /dev
/dev/mtdblock4      1472           236      1236  16% /jffs
mini_fo:/jffs           1664           1664         0 100% /

Basically the openvpn package needs 1269 space on jffs and I cannot get the space no matter what I try. I understand how the filesystem works on the embedded devices so think that maybe the best solution would be to add the openvpn package to the original firware, recompile and reflash. Either that or find a bright idea to free that small amount of space somehow!

As you will likely all know removing packages actually doesn't free useable space, and the tmp filesystem is unusable as it is the system RAM... Just in case smile

Any help with this or pointers int eh right direction would be great. Never made a custom linux build before and don't really know where to start.

Cheers!
