[Olsr-users] Finding OLSR v0.6.3-3 node with empty node table?

[Ben West]

Hi Markus,

My apologies for being too generic.  logread on the effected node
unfortunately didn't reveal anything outside normal log messages (at least
within the ring buffer remaining).  Since the original problem manifested
itself after the node rebooted itself (per cronjob), I tried another
reboot, but the problem was not repeated.

I am attaching the /etc/config/olsr below.

The command 'echo "/all" | nc localhost 2006' reported all empty tables,
although I didn't happen to check "/interfaces" before restarting olsrd.  I
will be mindful to do that should this situation recur.

Contents of /etc/config/olsrd:

  option 'IpVersion' '4'
  option 'LinkQualityLevel' '2'
  option 'LinkQualityAlgorithm' 'etx_ffeth'
