Description

Enabling ramdisk does not save/backup/restore the alias tables (/var/db/aliastables/).
Thus they have to be re-downloaded at every boot up. Because of this they may not be available when the firewall rules are loaded, which can result in errors and unpredictable behavior.

Some symptoms may include, sluggishness, high CPU utilization, and network connectivity issues, until all the tables are downloaded and get applied.

/etc/rc.backup_aliastables.sh needs rights set to 755. But I don't know how to do create a commit for that from a Windows environment. If it's possible I'd like to learn how. Seems I've seen commits for changing file rights, and that would be preferable to creating an update script just to do a one file chmod.

With rights set to 755 this works.

Not sure if it's possible to chmod +x on Windows. I just pushed the change to do that in both branches.

Use Cygwin CLI to commit POSIX permission changes from Windows. Otherwise, a VM, which is more annoying to switch back and forth between.

Thanks ky41083,

Here's what I received from my query to gitextensions support. I've walked through it and it works. So I learnt something new today. :)

Would be nice if they had that capability in the gui. But this is simple enough for the rare one off's.

Awesome! Good to know that is in the Windows GIT CLI now :-)
