    User named 'nobody'

    Is this a service account or can it be deleted? How did it get there? It's not a SAMBA, FTP user. nas:x:100:100:nas:/dev/null:/dev/null nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/dev/null:/dev/null tor:x:65533:65533:tor:/dev/null:/dev/null FW 384.12 Thanks

    Bad File Descriptor

    On USB0 I have a lexmark 16 GB drive with Entware installed, with an MBR and ext4 file system. It's been there for 2 years. All is ready to go to attempt to install that ad blocker thing again. The first thing Divergent did was corrupt the NTFS file system on the 1TB drive on USB1. I have...

    Questions about rmerlin on ASUS RT-AC5300

    I don't know man, port forwarding works for me, stock and merlin. Just go into WAN > Virtual Server / Port forwarding, turn it on and create the rule.

    Questions about rmerlin on ASUS RT-AC5300

    There is one file you upload with a .trx extension, you load it just like stock fw. Entware is a software repository that lets you add software to your router. The extended ipset, or traffic monitoring is a feature of merlin that captures extra traffic history. website...

    Questions about rmerlin on ASUS RT-AC5300

    I have a 5300 and love asuswrt-merlin. Everything works fine. I am running the latest 380.65 with the latest Entware-NG. I have it setup for the extended ipset info, works great.

    Possible? ... ASUS 'mesh' like Orbi but using ethernet backbone?

    it has the WDS or bridge but I don't think it's a real mesh, and it's wireless, and there is no security.

    dnsmasq-dhcp stops loggin in syslog with ab-solution 3

    Is this a problem? I don't know. I get sick of them especially when some machine or iphone does a dhcprequest every 30 seconds, but sometimes they are handy, I know when kids get home!

    Entware broken after reboot on 380.64_2

    It's been 6 hours or more and all is well. My family wants to kill me but entware and all software including ab-solution is working. No errors. I think I can safely say the root cause was the 1TB NTFS drive I had connected to the USB3 port. the family is griping that dns lookups are...

    Entware broken after reboot on 380.64_2

    I was writing the IP traffic history to the ntfs drive so I changed that to the thumb drive on usb2. Other than that the ntfs drive is mostly media, I had it shared via FTP and Samba. Leaving it disconnected is no biggie, it is a backup of the original media files, i have a copy job that backs...

    Entware broken after reboot on 380.64_2

    well so far I have disconnected the 1TB drive on the USB3 port, upgraded the fw to the brand new 380.65. Every single time I have upgraded the FW it has killed entware, and normally reboots kill it. Since disconnecting the drive on the USB3 port entware has survived 2 fw upgrades (i did the...

    Entware broken after reboot on 380.64_2

    Entware did fail again after the scheduled reboot, but the drive is still mounted. @tomsk and @latenitetech you read my mind. It is a fairly new router from Asus, new AC5300 technology, I have always wondered why the guy was selling it on eBay, which is where I purchased it from. I would...

    Entware broken after reboot on 380.64_2

    I have tried entware on ext2,3, and now 4. I just rebooted and I now have 1 gig swap space running, have not seen it used yet but it's there. OF course the reboot killed entware, but the drive was still mounted. Just reinstalled entware, the router will boot in 6 hours, we shall see if it...

    Need command to create swap file

    did not work. /proc/swaps has nothing and running the top command list no swap at the top. Should this go in /jffs/scripts in services-start or post-mount or in a conf file in /jffs/configs? free total used free shared buffers Mem: 515308...

    Entware broken after reboot on 380.64_2

    I used MiniTool Partition Wizard free. I first created the logical 1GB linux swap partition, then a primary ext4 partition with the remaining space. It added the 2 jobs on the left side and it added in a job to mount or do something prior to creating the linux swap partition. Then I clicked...
