There's even JFFS2 on the mega build though on which I get a bit of space, but not enough for my purposes.
With the mega build being about 3 megabytes larger than the VPN build (compressed); surely this means that this space would, could and should instead be available for JFFS2 on the much smaller VPN build?
Also, I am almost completely positive I've had the VPN build running on 4mb routers in the past.
Or do you mean the space was needed since the generic v24 (final/sp1) builds, whereas it was not in rc6.2 and earlier? Is this a result of other things that have been added since then?

Hey, I would really like to hang out and talk about this, but I have alot of work to do, is there a question in this message I can answer ? _________________ Want JTAG support - Donate a router

I mean, I'm almost sure I've had the VPN build with JFFS2 on a 4mb in the past, unless my memory is playing tricks on me...
However, this is currently not relevant to me, as I'm working on an 8 MB flash device (wl-500gp)
There was never (as of RC5-6) any JFFS support for v24 DD-WRT on VPN builds. Reason for that is unknown to myself.
I've been using one of Eko's custom builds (~10days pre-SP1) for extended JFFS space and VPN. The alternative to that is Mini + "ipkg install openvpn" _________________ Q: How do I do ...? A: Read the tutorials or Search forums
I actually recall a openvpn bug in the VPN load that required BS to remove JFFS to maintain stability. I believe that was in RC5-6 as someone mentioned above.
Looking at the bugtrack I don't know if it ever made it back.
Although, I'm having general problems with JFFS on v24 in general....so mini is the only one I have gotten to work on my GL's. As for the SP1 I have not tested that yet..

You're mistaken. If you look at the image I posted _right_ above your post, you will see I'm running RC6(.2) with JFFS enabled. Not a custom build.
Your timeline is wrong. It only went out just before v24 final came out.

So I could try to go through all of this hassle, but I'd be willing to instead wait a few weeks / months if it sounds like JFFS for openvpn package is going to be happening...
