    Custom script to determine if a USB HDD is mounted or not

    Well, I've had it! There is no way the router can provide a stable environment when a USB drive is attached to it. And I have given up on trying to figure out a solution to make it work. So, from this point of view, I could say that I had unrealistic expectations but also that the usefulness...

    Script for USB HDD mount management

    Hello, This post is addressed to those who have a problem with keeping the USB HDD stably mounted, as I do. My problem is that quite randomly the router loses the mount of the HDD and even worse, the device files /dev/sd* dissapear, which means that the OS is no longer seeing the device...

    Defect report : Random reboot when there is transfer load from USB HDD

    I've done a small test (more to do) last night. I streamed a 2GB file which contains a movie to my multi-media player, using both SMB and NFS. Surprisingly, when I did it over SMB at some point the router crashed and rebooted. When I did it over NFS it was rock solid. Next, I will do file...

    Custom script to determine if a USB HDD is mounted or not

    Hello, This is a kind request addressed to those who are good with linux shell scripting. Unfortunately, I am not good with this, so I need help. I want to create a custom script which will do the following: - mount > mount.txt - blkid > blkid.txt - read the content of the mount.txt...

    Defect report : Random reboot when there is transfer load from USB HDD

    Thank you Merlin. Now, I will have to do a set of tests of my own to try and figure out the context in which an unexpected reboot occurs.

    Changing the USB HDD mount parameters

    That is exactly what I did the other night. And it did not solve the problem. Because, from the symptoms I think the culprit is the USB driver, which is not detecting correctly the devices on boot. If a force the USB unbind and then bind, via a custom script, then the devices will be...

    Defect report : Random reboot when there is transfer load from USB HDD

    I have found a solution to the problem of having the HDD partitions detected by the USB driver and it is a script which unbinds all the USB devices and then binds them back, thus forcing the driver to read them again. This way I can get the HDD mapped correctly and the partitions mounted...

    Changing the USB HDD mount parameters

    actually, in my fstab I am using the device UUID. But that does not make any difference since the OS does not seem to be capable to do a proper detection of the devices.

    Defect report : Random reboot when there is transfer load from USB HDD

    I've noticed something else which is disturbing. As long as I use the router strictly for traffic routing, it is rock solid. As soon as I connect a USB HDD and use it as a sort of NAS, the router becomes unstable. What I can see is that when I stream data from the attached HDD to a media...

    Defect Report : NFS shares not allowed if there is a USB device not mounted

    For this situation, I have attached a flash stick in usb1 and a HDD in usb2. So, the flash stick is sda and HDD is sdb. sda was used as a swap partition, thus, it remained unmounted. sdb was mounted correctly. Then, I proceeded to declare the NFS shares mapped on sdb's partitions. However, I...

    Defect Report : USB HDD not detected correctly by the USB driver

    I think I found a defect pertaining to the USB driver. I do not know if it is specific to asuswrt or asuswrt-merlin, because from day one, I loaded Merlin's firmware. What happens is that on boot, with the HDD connected, the OS reports that it had detected sda or sdb, but it does not detect...

    Changing the USB HDD mount parameters

    That is what I thought might work and I created the fstab file and added the pre-mount instructions to create the mount point folder. And that woks when I execute manually to unmount what the router mounts implicitly and remount with my own mount options. However, I have a different...

    Changing the USB HDD mount parameters

    AC66U. However, this should be a general linux matter and not something specific to one router or another, shouldn't it?

    Changing the USB HDD mount parameters

    Hi, I am using an ext3 formatted drive and i noticed that the router is mounting the filesystem with the parameter data=ordered. Is there a way to modify the implicit mount command so that I can activate ext3 journaling, in order to have better chance of maintaining file system integrity...

    RT-AC66U with AsusWRT - unstable with USB HDD attached

    Hello all, I just bought an AC66U router and loaded the AsusWRT-Merlin firmware, version 376.48_3. When I use the router with no USB HDD, it is very stable and I cannot complain about it. However, when I connect the external HDD, things start to get unpleasant. The HDD is 2TB formatted...
