19.07 -- Report devices here that can't save settings

With the availability of 19.07.0 RC images, please help the development team by using this thread to report images that don't save their settings.

If you can, please include the output of

df
cat /proc/mtd

using the preformatted-text button </>

These are "safe" commands to show what file systems are mounted and their sizes. See https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-quick-start/sshadministration for instructions on how to use SSH if you are not familiar with it.

What version? A,B, or C?
I Have the three version, and in my case B version do not admit OpenWrt 19.07
I will check out if A and C can't save settings, and I will report it.

TP-Link WR902AC v1 also have this problem. Here's the output from OpenWrt 18.06, I've done a rollback because the router was unusable, and I have already installed some extra packages. I can install 19.07-rc0 again if it's needed.

I highly doubt that this device is affected by "image too big to save settings".

Please provide the output of the following commands:

df -h
mount

Does not work with me in version A

tp-link tl-wr841n ver 11.1 is not saving changes across reboots..

using the tiny build..
