My luck....file not found. I'm going to refresh amtm and setup another format, I'll get back to you with how it goes.:)
The format disk log file is saved to /jffs/amtm-format-disk.log
 
The format disk log file is saved to /jffs/amtm-format-disk.log
I remember the terminal output and it did say that it had changed the name to EXT2 however it actually didn't. The log of the format was wiped when I formatted /jffs an hour ago.
 
I would imagine that when using a Samba share you will have movies, music, what not on that device to share with other devices.
You don't want them corrupted or affected when the Entware device goes bad.
Ahhhh. I don't use my router as a fileserver, I have a separate NAS for that. For my use case, I'm the only one accessing the attached storage on the router, so separating into two partitions (or two devices) gains me nothing.

I too have better suited devices for Plex, Music library for my Sonos system and file sharing.
And I also use Samba to access /jffs, /etc and /mnt as easy accesa for developing on my test routers.

Ok I hada chance to format a dsic to ext4 and named the device EXT4 the system log looks like this:
Code:
Feb  7 15:49:56 amtm: Running disk check 'e2fsck -p' on /dev/sda1
Feb  7 15:49:57 amtm: Disk check done on /dev/sda1
Feb  7 15:49:57 syslog: USB ext4 fs at /dev/sda1 mounted on /tmp/mnt/sda1
Feb  7 15:49:57 usb: USB ext4 fs at /dev/sda1 mounted on /tmp/mnt/sda1.
Feb  7 15:49:57 kernel: EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: user_xattr
The "fdl" looks like this:
Code:

 /jffs/amtm-format-disk.log has this content:

@thelonelycoder Here is a little niggle I get on my AC86U, not a big deal really, but I know you are a perfectionist and love to squash bugs. :)

I run from AMTM, chose Diversion, then f follow log file, then Ctrl-E to exit, then when I choose E to exit back to AMTM, it dumps me to command line. It is repeatable for me, I've run this six times and it happens every time.
Code:
  ____  _                    _ 
 |  _ \(_)_   _____ _ __ ___(_) ___  _ __ 
 | | | | \ \ / / _ \ '__/ __| |/ _ \| '_ \ 
 | |_| | |\ V /  __/ |  \__ \ | (_) | | | |
 |____/|_| \_/ \___|_|  |___/_|\___/|_| |_|
 Goodbye

I have just installed amtm on my new AX88U, all gone well. However, when I type amtm on the command line to start amtm, it says that it is not found!

The only way I know how to start it is to run the install script again. When I do that, the amtm installation is already there.

I have successfully installed a swap file, and rebooted the router, but still the problem of actually starting amtm remains.

Can you help please?

Run
Code:
sh /jffs/scripts/amtm
once and it will auto magically fix itself so calling it with just amtm from /tmp/home/root will work!
 
Make sure Entware is also installed otherwise you can't run amtm with just writing "amtm"

I also noticed this when I recently reinstalled. However, the problem went away when I installed Skynet, so I did not need to pursue it.

To start amtm enter this into your terminal:
Code:
/jffs/scripts/amtm
If Entware is installed on the router, start amtm with this command.
Diversion installs Entware by default, amtm has an option to do so.
Code:
amtm
 
amtm 1.8 is now available

What's new in amtm 1.8
- Various code and text corrections
- Reorganized UI: bigger, better, amtm!
- New option to set reboot scheduler (rs) via cron job, as opposed to the WebUI reboot scheduler which uses an internal mechanism to reboot the router. The WebUI scheduler may not properly unmount devices when rebooting, here's my remedy.
- Additionally uses md5sum beside the version number to compare versions when using u to check for an amtm update.
- Format disk fd uses Entware package lsof (list open files) to show what's stopping the unmounting of the device.
- I'm pleased to welcome YazFi to the amtm collection of favorite SNBForum scripts!

Had a quick tour of the new and improved amtm 1.8 and like the improvements. YazFi is a great addition to amtm.

I'm also looking forward to when FreshJR_QOS is also included in amtm too! (FreshJR! hint hint) :)

Congratulations on the new release of AMTM. It has really evolved. The additional functionality added since it was birthed has been a big help to the community.

I read about @FreshJR 's intention but so far no news on his (her?) progress.
It will have to wait until I release the next version.

That's a calming/peaceful image you've put in my mind! Thank you. :)
