AC68U+Merlin firmware(384.9)+Entware

Hi.
My router after reboot changes disk names from sda to sdb & back, if I reboot another time.
I give labels to both disks - NET & NET2 ,but it happens again!
WTF!
What should I do to stop this?

I do not know.

Hypothetically you could use UUID instead of device in fstab, but the firmware does not use fstab on boot.

The swapping of sda and sdb is well known, but if you have given each device different labels then in theory there is no way they can be swapped around.

Next time it happens log onto the router and type "mount" to try and see what is happening.

What filesystems are you using? ext2/3/4, FAT32, etc.?

NET - NTFS -/dev/sda
NET2 -ext4 fdisk /dev/sdb2
SWAP - /dev/sdb1

This is after reboot-all disks were mounted normally
