Hi, I setup Debian Stretch on RT-AC86U router https://www.hqt.ro/how-to-install-debian-stretch-arm/ and it's working great but now I want to run "df" command inside debian and I get error: "df: no file systems processed", I have coreutils installed, tried different versions.
In "old" Debian Jessie I created a symlink "ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab" and worked but in Stretch has no effect
I searched on internet and didn't find nothing useful, I tried to symlink "df" to busybox but no go.
Some ideas?
 
Any hint?

Erm - not a clue...

Have you considered an RPi? They're cheap enough these days..

Much more useful (more RAM and Storage), and it runs a version of Debian with real tools - Busybox is cool, but...
 
Already have one Odroid C2 which is great but this router is very capable too and would be nice to figure out how to solve "df" issue, I'm trying to setup Pi-hole and can't get further with installer script.
 
Thanks, I get this
