ssh/node-red issue – var/config size

[nicolas.jacquiot@volvo.com]

Hello,

I am currently debugging some issues we are facing with our Lora Gateways and I think it’s related to this subject so you can probably help. We have a gateway MTCDT-246A with the firmware 5.1.6.

We have the following issue:

– The gateway can be reach through the UI but not with ssh (it’s enable)
– The node-red app can not be launched from the UI, it’s loading indefinitely without the credential page

We saw in the different logs that the ssh is not working because there is no space left on the partition /var/config and same for node-red. Indeed we have only 8MB in this partition..

We deleted the file lora-network-server.db.journal and rebooting. Then the connection works again (ssh and node-red) but some hours later the partition is full again… Do you have an idea on how to resolve this issue ?

What is generating the files in /var/config ?
About your answer with /var/persistent, we don’t have this partition on our side and I don’t know the process to use another partition than var/config for the generated files ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
