Hi Dave,
quick question, how does one turn of logging for babeld? It seems that if daemonized it defaults to logging to /var/log/babeld.log (or similar). Is setting the log file to /dev/null really the answer?
(Since I have no the IPv6 issue not yet resolved, I assume babeld is unhappy) I resorted to stopping babeld completely, but that feels like a crutch…
Best
Sebastian
