Hi
I am using OpenWrt 21.02.0 r16279-5cc0535800 on a LinkSYS WRT 1900 ACS router. I want to make updates or install tcpdump. However, the system partition is full, so to speak:
Free space: 2% (712.7 KB)

/dev/sdb2 on /nfsshare/HomeBackup type ext4 (rw,relatime)
nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw,relatime)
My question is. Is it not possible to put some things on a partition of the external USB disks instead of on the built-in memory? For example "/var" and thus "/tmp", where a lot is written.
The only problem is that I have to manually mount the USB mounts stored in the fstab after a reboot.
I'm grateful for some useful ideas, because this is just too crowded.
Thanks
