Announcements • Re: v7.13.3 [stable] is released!

One of my hAP ac2 running v7.13.2 had an interesting and totally unwanted behavior earlier today:

• VPNs went down (thats how I noticed)
• config in winbox looked wrong (e.g. ovpn server was showing not enabled and port set to "1")
• couldn't make export - the "in progress" file got stuck around 173Bytes and didn't progress further even though there was alegedly free space.
• trying to disable/enable some interfaces produced an error about "program not responding"
• reboot took several minutes before the device went off.

I can only assume it was due to low space, as discussed in the testing/RC thread. My router is in production and is not using any test version. It was running with basic "wireless" package which was installed during regular package update to v7.13 I did not manually install the larger "wifi-qcom-ac" package. There are also no extra packages and files on the router at all. Although the config is largest of my devices, it isn't anything extreme - only 54kB when exported (we are not talking about thousands or even hundreds of connections. There are only 10 networks and 10 VPNs connected with perhaps 100 firewall rules)

The router was reporting about 3% free space (so not totally full). If this is going to happen to everyone on normal install, we are getting into interesting times. As this device is in production environment, my quick bandaid was to uninstall the wireless package completely and rely on wired connection only - that won't be a solution for everyone. I am curious if this will occur on other devices and if more customers will report the same here.
