Hi,

I am running dnsmasq on a NAS from Synology. The NAS puts its disks into 
standby if they are not needed and I want to move all files accessed by dnsmasq 
to a USB flash drive, so that dnsmasq won’t wake up the disks. 

So far I have done that for the log file and lease file by adding the following 
two lines to the configuration file:

dhcp-leasefile=/volumeUSB1/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.lease
log-facility=/volumeUSB1/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.log

But still the disks seem to wake up when I switch one a device that fetches an 
IP via DHCP.

Are there any other files that dnsmasq accesses, directly or through the 
operating system? Is the configuration file accessed regularly or only on 
startup?

Thanks for your support, regards, Robert
