Hi everyone,
I am currently facing an issue after installing OpenWrt and trying to use the remaining disk space on my device as an overlay. Here are the details of my setup:
- Target Platform: x86/64
- Firmware Version: OpenWrt 23.05.4 r24012-d8dd03c46f / LuCI openwrt-23.05 branch git-24.086.45142-09d5a38
After the installation, I wanted to use the remaining space on /dev/vda as an overlay for OpenWrt. For this purpose, I formatted /dev/vda3 as ext4 and tried to mount it as /overlay. However, the overlay is not being mounted, and I can't figure out why.
Here are some logs and outputs that might help diagnose the issue:

When I try to manually mount /dev/vda3, the additional space shows up under the software section but not on the status page.
Here’s the command I used:
mount /dev/vda3 /overlay
And the output from df -h:

/dev/root 4.3M 4.3M 0 100% /rom
tmpfs 479.7M 68.0K 479.6M 0% /tmp

/dev/vda3 9.6G 4.5M 9.1G 0% /overlay
Any advice on how to resolve this issue or correctly mount the overlay would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
