vnStat vnStat not starting due NTP sync

[langesgnu]

Hi everybody,

since some time, I have the issue that after a reboot vnStat is not starting, as it seems NTP sync is not fast enough for vnStat. Other scripts don't seem to have that issue and/or are waiting for NTP sync. What I see in the log after a reboot is:

Apr 12 09:17:18 scMerlin: Waiting for NTP to sync...
Apr 12 09:17:23 Entware: Starting Entware services on /tmp/mnt/86Udisc

Apr 12 09:18:30 ntpbootwatchdog: NTP has synced!

Currently I am running my AX86U Pro on 3006.102.4_beta1, but it was the same on 3004.388.8_4 and previous releases. I have the local NTP server enabled, also the scMerlion NTP Ready startup check and NTP boot watchdog script.

Anybody having an idea what could be done to avoid having to start vnStat manually every time after a reboot?

It should start from /jffs/scripts/post-mount even if the init script fails. What’s in the post-mount script? Maybe things need to be re-ordered in there to ensure vnstat runs after Entware.
