    MerlinAU MerlinAU v1.5.7 - The Ultimate Firmware Auto-Updater (WEBUI + GNUTON SUPPORT!)

    MerlinAU 1.5.7 Released! What's Changed/Fixed?: PR: [ #529 ] - Improved Code to Unmount USB Drives Improved/modified code that tries to unmount the USB-attached drives before flashing the F/W. If any USB drive is "busy", the code waits until it becomes idle, up to a maximum of 4 minutes...

    MerlinAU MerlinAU v1.5.7 - The Ultimate Firmware Auto-Updater (WEBUI + GNUTON SUPPORT!)

    No worries, after re-reviewing the code, the reason we rely on the node to be “aware” of the update first is actually pretty simple. When MerlinAU checks nodes from the primary, it doesn’t invent its own view of what’s available. It reads the node’s own webs_state_info, which is populated by the...

    MerlinAU MerlinAU v1.5.7 - The Ultimate Firmware Auto-Updater (WEBUI + GNUTON SUPPORT!)

    It's a minor detail that is very easy to miss, and on second thought I am currently in the process of re-evaluating the need for the node to be self aware or if it makes sense to make the primary ignore the webs_update flag on the node completely.

    MerlinAU MerlinAU v1.5.7 - The Ultimate Firmware Auto-Updater (WEBUI + GNUTON SUPPORT!)

    Correct. With one caveat. It will only determine if an update is available once the node itself detects an update available. That would of been likely tonight by its own built-in webs_update script being triggered, or the next time it was triggered to check via MerlinAU (Either automatically...

    Fantastic news @visortgw i appreciate you reporting back your success! I thought in theory it should work, but always good to have someone validate that assumption with some first hand experience. 😜

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.10 is now available

    MerlinAU is a great way to rule things out... If MerlinAU doesn’t work, it’s likely not a simple user error, like forgetting to remove any attached USBs or grabbing the wrong firmware. It's also great for anyone looking for minimal maintenance, and it helps remove a lot of the learning curve...

    That is exactly what was happening. As Dave pointed out, it wasn't tailmon that started tailscale. It was entware (the 3rd line in your post mount) that was starting tailscale.

    That's exactly the reason why. It's not a problem with his script. It was a problem with your post-mount. Once that problem was solved, then his script could send the notification as intended.

    Interesting, then I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer that one. Hopefully thelonelycoder has more of an idea where it comes from.

    Happy you found a solution! And it required no code changes! I'd like to know more about why that was left behind in your post-mount though if it's no longer valid. We may need to poke @thelonelycoder for that one though.

    spdMerlin spdMerlin v4.4.16 [2025-Nov-16] - Internet Speedtest and Monitoring Tool for AsusWRT Merlin

    This confirms the problem was solved by removing: . /jffs/addons/diversion/mount-entware.div # Added by amtm From the post-mount script. Seems like maybe diversion left some remnants behind? Causing post-mount to fail to run the lines following. Which means alan was likely having issues with...

    That's a good point, I assumed it came from tailmon but it could be just the entware service. Let's see what alan says with the test

    spdMerlin spdMerlin v4.4.16 [2025-Nov-16] - Internet Speedtest and Monitoring Tool for AsusWRT Merlin

    I believe . /jffs/addons/amtm/mount-entware.mod is still valid: not sure what about: . /jffs/addons/diversion/mount-entware.div though. Even if it's not valid though, the lines following in his post-mount are running as expected (such as tailmon) And here is the systemlog confirming that...

    So far; I've narrowed it down based on your logs to the fact that it never even triggers the NTP_Ready function of the code. I would expect to see the same thing as scMerlin or YazDHCP which does trigger the NTP_Ready function as seen in your logs before: Jan 1 00:01:49 YazDHCP_[2836]...

    Just as an FYI guys, I did a quick code review and see zero indication that TAILMON updates the tailscale package during regular operations. No "opkg update" is run, or "opkg install tailscale" is run from the regular main loop, or when -screen called from post-mount.

    Swap file is unrelated to entware. Start through AMTM. 1. is entware installed? What version is installed (check screenshot below) 2. If you run the "ep" option, then option "1" does it find any updates available? 3. You can try doing the command "opkg update" to see if it runs as expected or...

    Did you validate everything is working correctly with your entware installation?

    We would need to see the system logs to see where it's stalling.

    spdMerlin spdMerlin v4.4.16 [2025-Nov-16] - Internet Speedtest and Monitoring Tool for AsusWRT Merlin

    While I am not against the idea of adding a check and validation for the existence of the startup line existing within post-mount when updating, it does beg the question why it would be required. Is this a user mistake of some kind to delete post-mount or it's contents? How did it go missing in...

    Hi @Tarek Yag How can I be of assistance? :D I'm I correct to assume your suggestion may be to add a call to the Auto_Startup function while passing the variable "create" within the Update_Version function? Or something similar?
