Hi,
I apologize for the long post but I am trying to give as much information as possible.
Environment:
OpenWRT version: 18.06.1
system type : MediaTek MT7621 ver:1 eco:3
machine : ZBT-WG3526 (16M)
cpu model : MIPS 1004Kc V2.15
kmod-sdhci-mt7620 : 4.14.63-1
I am trying to use sdcard with the latest version (18.06.1, using previously 17.04.01). I installed the following packages in to enable sdcard support:
opkg install kmod-sdhci-mt7620 block-mount kmod-fs-vfat kmod-fs-ext4 kmod-fs-msdos kmod-fs-ntfs dosfstools e2fsprogs blkid dumpe2fs tune2fs
If I format the card using mk2fs.ext4 (see command below), the command completes successfully but I cannot mount the card.
mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -O "^has_journal" -L sdcard -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk0

If I format the card on a linux machine (Fedora 27), then I can mount it, but after I run dumpe2fs, and umount it then the error happens again:

If I run fsck on openWRT, it shows basically the same things as running it on Fedora but it does not fix the problems. Below is the output on Fedora. The result of the operation will destroy any file on the filesystem.

I did one more test: I mounted the sdcard on openwrt and umounted it without running any command. Again, the filesystem gets corrupted. So, I believe the problem is with the mount command that is corrupting the filesystem.
This is the result of running fsck on openwrt (it does not fix the problem):
fsck.ext4 -y /dev/mmcblk0p1

dumpe2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mmcblk0p1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
The last test I did was to attach an sdcard reader on the usb port using the same sdcard. When I do that, then no corruption happens.
Is this a bug or am I missing something? If you have suggestions on how to troubleshoot this problem or need more information, please let me know.
