I'm having an issue with wifi going down and the router rebooting. I've got a 512mb flash drive formatted to FAT32 and I'd like to be able to save the log file to it so I don't lose it when the router reboots. Ideally I'm hoping that'll help narrow down what the issue is so I can fix it.

I'm just not sure how to set this up.

/dev/sda1 mounted to /tmp/mnt/sda1

I'd say LN the current log location to the mounted USB stick. Did not test it, so it's on your own risk.

Code:
mkdir /tmp/mnt/sda1/log
ln -s  /tmp/mnt/sda1/log <current log directory>


You might need to sudo the commands.
