JFFS Scripts Disappear on Reboot

[Pegasus9]

Trying to create a nat-start script, but every time I reboot the router, the script vanishes. Have tried placing it in a JFFS/Scripts and even root -- the result is the same.

I have a : RT-AC5300 using 380.70_beta1-gc8353dc

Check the spelling of your path names, they are case sensitive. So it's not "JFFS/Scripts", it's "/jffs/scripts".

admin@RT-AC68U:/tmp/home/root# cd /jffs/scripts/
admin@RT-AC68U:/jffs/scripts#

Further you may want to format /jffs first.

Thanks. Did so -- checked format on reboot and then rebooted before I did anything else.

Verified pathnames upon creation. Tried all lower, all upper, mixed -- and none -- It always wipes our the directory.

It always wipes our the directory.

There's something strange going on here. You don't need to create the directory yourself, the router does that for you. Also, you said you had tried placing things in root - that should not be possible because root is a read-only filesystem.

Are you absolutely sure you're not putting the files under /tmp or your home directory.

I would normally agree, but I am not familiar enough with the Merlin firmware to know.

Using WinSCP to create and view the JFFS and PuTTY to change the file.

 

[Pegasus9]

OK, now I feel stupid -- reread your message and at some point WinSCP went into the tmp and I did not catch/verify it. Duh.

Thanks!

Sometimes you need to do this twice - had the same issue in the past.

I experience exactly the same issue now with rt86u and merlin 384.4_2
