    Thanks for spotting that! Fixed. Cheers

    Guest networks and DHCP

    After having the same problem -- no DHCP for guest networks when main LAN has its own DHCP server -- I came up with a script to automatically take care of things. This works for up to three guest networks per band, or six in total, same as the Merlin GUI. It puts the 2.4GHz guests onto...

    Best way/place to mount a usbstick at /jffs

    Yes, they do seem to use it once mounted. But the default router configuration after fresh install was no jffs. And the router worked fine. I guess it just has to be enabled to use the fancier stuff then. Back to the issue here: init-start is run non-blocking, which means it is NOT...

    Best way/place to mount a usbstick at /jffs

    Okay, found out why that happens from the source code: It uses run_custom_script() to launch init-start in the background, and continues with initialization in parallel. That's contrary to what the wiki suggests, which is that init-start runs BEFORE most other stuff. Simply not true though...

    Best way/place to mount a usbstick at /jffs

    On a related note, is there any way to stop the system from automatically scribbling over the USB partitions when mounted? I've disabled everything to do with samba, yet inserting a USB stick still causes it to have a bunch of .__* files heaped onto each mounted partition. Thanks again!

    Best way/place to mount a usbstick at /jffs

    Ahh.. I added a "ps" command to init-start to see what else was already running at the time. Just about EVERYTHING it seems. It appears that firewall-start is also running at the same time as init-start. That looks a bit racy. Is there not an earlier place to hook into the system startup...

    Best way/place to mount a usbstick at /jffs

    Since by default, there is no /jffs/ mounted, it would seem odd that parts of the router might have issues with it pointing to a different device when it is mounted. The script is running now. I just had to add modprobe lines to it to load the USB/storage stacks to detect the USB stick. It...

    Best way/place to mount a usbstick at /jffs

    I want /jffs on my RT-AC68U to point at a USB stick rather than internal flash memory. It appears that doing it from the init-start script might work. Is it reasonable to expect the Merlin firmware to behave this way? My USBSTICK has a partition formatted as ext4, with a label of "JFFS". My...
