RT-AC86U Watchdog

[Robinbb]

Current firmware 3.0.0.4.384_82072
I have an 86U router - ethernet backhaul - 86U AiMesh.
Can anyone please tell me if this is normal? My System Log is a constant stream of 'watchdog stuff'.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

Does a reboot fix it?

Do any of the following (pertinent) suggestions help to further troubleshoot?

Did this firmware (or a previous one) make the JFFS partition 47MB from 48MB? If so, have you performed a full format of the JFFS and/or a full reset of the router since?

What other options/features and/or scripts do you have running on your router past the defaults?

Your router is currently stuck trying to run this command (possibly because you used Seed Feedback in an AiMesh setup). Rebooting your router and all nodes should resolve it.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I know nuffin about JFFS et al - I am a simpleton user (who suffers ongoing AiMesh issues + an uncommanded update).
The reboots did the job thanks.

An auto-update side-effect?
