I do know that, thus the BLAH var in my example simply contains that HTML and ${#BLAH} should have returned only the length as on my platform. Instead on yours there's a <! prefix . I also used this notation ${#VAR} in another place and it works right there, so I guess this is a bug in the shell. Do you have any comment?
 
@thelonelycoder do you know why there's <! for ${#VAR} anyway on your router?
Maybe a typo:
Code:
BLAH="$(curl -L -k -s http://download.dnscrypt.info/resolvers-list/v2/public-resolvers.md)"
echo "${#BLAH}"
[ "${#BLAH}" -eq "32" ] || echo BAM
[ "$(echo $BLAH|wc -c)" -eq "32" ] || echo HAM
Result:
Code:
user@RT-AC86U-AD60:/tmp/home/root# qtest.sh
16757
BAM
HAM

You misunderstood my use for these md5sum files. These are remote files contains md5sum for the actual files without md5sum extension. This way I can make sure I only download if there's newer file. This is for my github repo of course, for the download.dnscrypt.info domain, there's no md5sum file and a new file should always be downloaded each time, as the md5sum download is either empty 404 or whatever returned by the server, obviously it won't be 32 byte and match any file on the device.

The problem here is when the length of a var is big enough, the shell on 86U appends <! before the result. Weird.

This:
Code:
BLAH=`curl -L -k -s http://download.dnscrypt.info/resolvers-list/v2/public-resolvers.md`
echo ${#BLAH}
[ ${#BLAH} -eq 32 ] || echo BAM
[ `echo $BLAH|wc -c` -eq 32 ] || echo HAM
And proper POSIX:
Code:
BLAH="$(curl -L -k -s http://download.dnscrypt.info/resolvers-list/v2/public-resolvers.md)"
echo ${#BLAH}
[ "${#BLAH}" -eq "32" ] || echo BAM
[ "$(echo $BLAH|wc -c)" -eq "32" ] || echo HAM
Return the same for me: 16757

I see, ignore my previous posts then.
 
@bigeyes0x0 yup, on my 1900P:
Code:
ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC68U 384.3-beta1 Sun Feb  4 17:53:07 UTC 2018
user@RT-AC1900P:/tmp/home/root# qtest.sh
267752
BAM
HAM
 
IS THIS A BUG? I'm annoyed :mad:.
Here, that works for both routers I tested it with:
Code:
BLAH="$(curl -L -k -s http://download.dnscrypt.info/resolvers-list/v2/public-resolvers.md.md5sum)"
echo $(echo ${#BLAH} | sed 's/<!//')
[ "$(echo ${#BLAH} | sed 's/<!//')" -eq "32" ] || echo BAM
[ "$(echo $BLAH|wc -c)" -eq "32" ] || echo HAM
 
Code:
user@RT-AC86U-AD60:/tmp/home/root# qtest.sh
267752
BAM
HAM
Code:
user@RT-AC1900P:/tmp/home/root# qtest.sh
267752
BAM
HAM
 
@thelonelycoder Haha, thanks for following up. I have actually worked around it already as you have run the installer successfully in one of your previous posts. I use the wc -c method. In any case, I wonder if it's a bug and if it is maybe it should be fixed. The shell is quite important after all.

Yup, echo $(echo $BLAH|wc -c) returns 267732
 
curl -L -k -s http://download.dnscrypt.info/resolvers-list/v2/public-resolvers.md.md5sum
resolves to the html file of https://dnscrypt.info/ which is css and html code only.
I only see some css matching md5 in it.

Yeah, I warned him already, aside the fact that the dnscrypt author's use .md5s nomore
Also I don't quite understand what bigeyes tryes to achieve with such command ...

If you want to check for remote checksum:

Code:
x=curl -L -k -s [url] | md5sum | awk {'print $1}'
y=m5sum [localfile] | awk {'print $1}'
 
When you reboot the router, does syslog gives you any clues why it won't mount your usb drive?
Routers working fine hence the pics of the network shares etc.
I rebooted an hour ago and it shows this.

It does seem to mount indeed, at least initially, but I can't figure out why it didn't show up in df -h...

If there's nothing else on the drive, try running (from a terminal) the following code (before the #):

Code:
umount /tmp/mnt/16GB #assuming it is still somehow mounted
e2fsck -fpv /dev/sda1 #this will run a forced filecheck on the partition, automatically repair if possible without user input and output verbose

and please post the output.

But

=> Do you want to install a swap file (512MB on ext filesystem partition)? [y/n]: y
Info: Available partition to install swap file:

Never got that far before, it just said it wasn't there before.

I just logged into WinSCP and went into /mnt, it now shows the original 16GB and a new 16GB(1)

Rebooting takes it back to the original 16GB and no drive found.

If it shows now, you should be able to create a swapfile on it. You can do it manually by entering the following in a terminal

Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/mnt/16GB/myswap.swp bs=1k count=262144
mkswap /tmp/mnt/16GB/myswap.swp
swapon /tmp/mnt/16GB/myswap.swp

That's for a 256Mb swap. If you want a 512Mb swap, replace 262144 with 524288.

To make sure it's activated at reboot, append the following line to /jffs/scripts/post-mount

Code:
swapon /tmp/mnt/16GB/myswap.swp

Check with

Code:
free

whether your swap is active.
