Need help with extroot on Armor G5 with asvio's latest build

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Could someone please give me some hints what I'm doing wrong while trying to set up extroot on asvio's latest build?

I followed https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/extroot_configuration but get stuck at

eval $(block info | grep -o -e 'MOUNT="\S*/overlay"')

which comes back empty.

I also tried https://forum.openwrt.org/t/zyxel-armor-z2-nbg6817-3gb-extroot-on-19-07/45376/13 but get stuck at the same step

DEVICE="$(awk -e '/\s/overlay\s/{print $1}' /etc/mtab)"

What is $DEVICE supposed to be?

You should ask asvio, since you're using their build.

Hi @asvio , sorry for being vague. I meant the "latest" release in https://github.com/asvio/nbg7815-nss/releases which I thought was your latest release. I was not aware that there is a newer one in a different repo.

Your
230929
 version states that there is extroot support which is why I tried to set it up.

The NNS version is very very experimental. I personally do not use extroot and I have never tried it, but the versions that I released with support for extroot and without support for NNS, there were people who used them and had no problems.

Currently extroot support is present in openwrt's main branch so you can test with a version of that branch and see if the problem is with my version or with your configuration.

I can't help you with the configuration.

Soon i'll update my NNS branch. Use only NNS version if you really needs it. (>1gb wan, or > 1gb hardware connected to router).

@asvio Thank you for your reply. I switched over to openwrt's main branch. I'll report back if I am able to identify an issue with your version.
