 Therefore, before changing any USB filesystem settings, you should first reconfigure syslog to be stored (temporarily) in RAM. Only then should you adjust filesystem settings or unmount the drive. Afterwards, you can configure syslog to again be permanently stored on USB storage, where it shouldn't be interrupted. Therefore, before changing any USB filesystem settings, you should first reconfigure syslog to be stored (temporarily) in RAM.

-**USB filesystem corruption is a very common cause of system instability.** You could experience a VPN connectivity issue, WiFi instability or any other seemingly "random" problem directly or indirectly caused by USB filesystem issues. Remember this when troubleshooting router issues. It is advised that you add USB filesystem checks to your troubleshooting checklist.+**USB filesystem corruption is a very common cause of system instability.** You could experience a VPN connectivity issue, WiFi instability or any other seemingly "random" problem directly or indirectly caused by USB filesystem issues. When troubleshooting, you are advised to add USB filesystem checks to your troubleshooting checklist.
