Hi,

it seems that I found a (fast) solution for starting/stopping 'vnstatd':

1. In '/etc/init.d/vnstat' I changed:

start)
	if use_ramdisk; then
		boot_mesg "Mounting vnstat ramdisk..."
		mount_ramdisk "${VNSTATLOG}"
		evaluate_retval
	fi
	;;

To:

start)
	boot_mesg "Starting vnstatd..."
	loadproc /usr/sbin/vnstatd -d --alwaysadd
	sleep 2
	evaluate_retval

	if use_ramdisk; then
		boot_mesg "Mounting vnstat ramdisk..."
		mount_ramdisk "${VNSTATLOG}"
		evaluate_retval
	fi
	;;

2. Changed:

stop)
	umount_ramdisk "${VNSTATLOG}"
	;;

To:

stop)
	boot_mesg "Stopping vnstatd..."
	killproc /usr/sbin/vnstatd
	sleep 2
	evaluate_retval
	umount_ramdisk "${VNSTATLOG}"
	;;

Tested. Worked.

But this doesn't check whether the old interface files were imported
correctly...

Opinions?

Best,
Matthias

Hm.
