Lots of missing info

  • What is your Router
  • What firmware are you using
  • What packages have you installed
  • What reference articles did you use to configure this (see OpenWrt WIKI for USB Storage)
  • Post your relevant config files.
  • I know older windows systems did not natively know about ext-4, not sure about Win10

Is ext4 support is not there in LEDE?

I am unable to mount ext4 file system on my lede

10

Start with the storage devices section of the LEDE User Guide...

https://openwrt.org/docs/user-guide/start#storage_devices

11

The output of /proc/filesystem is not showing ext4
I installed it using "opkg install kmod-fs-ext4"
Then also ext4 support is enabled on my build.

I need some assistance to fix this issue.

12

In configuration i enabled ext4 as kenel module but in log it is showing

[ 3.757185] kmodloader: - ext4 - 1

But not showing in filesystems

13

Have you formatted the partition on the hard drive using ext4?

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

To change a directory use cd command, and chmod to change a directory permissions.
The error is a permission to read and write in LEDE, to solve use a command

chmod -R 0777 /NAS

I prefered to create a users to use a samba share for security.

To hide a lost+found folder, try a "option hide files = /lost+found/" on share options in /etc/config/samba file.
