@F5BJR I only installed ntfs-3g, not the kmod version. There is definitely a bug, it won't automount, unless I missed a package to install somewhere.
@oli my cable modem only reaches 500/35 Mbits. But SQM Cake has no issue shaping at this speed, excellent results on dslreports, straight A+, no pings exceed 5ms during max load. Maybe there a regression nearing gigabit related to DSA? Not sure.
Looks nice. I have noticed over time that the seems to be problem with LuCI, DSA and WLAN. The good news for me is that my WLAN is on a single access point on the wall connected to a Managed PoE switch.
So I only need to get all my VLAN:s working in the router with DSA for the Ethernet connectors on the router.
Since I don’t use the WLAN I have had some thought lately to instead install the snapshot to have LuCI support for DSA to make the first VLAN config as I want it. And then to see how the system rewrites the config files.
And then rewrite my own config scripts for the 21.02 branch.
Yes.
For the mvebu WRTxxxACx routers, you need changes to to /etc/config/system and /etc/config/network.
You shouldn't sysupgrade with those files in place. (and you can't restore them from old backups)
DSA for mvebu happened in master already in last June, so this is nothing really new (except if you have stayed with 19.07).
Ps.
The recommendation is to sysupgrade without settings, but a quick-and-dirty approach is to remove /etc/config/network and /etc/config/system before sysupgrade and keep the other settings. Those two will be re-generated at the first boot with the new firmware, so you get the new defaults. (E.g. renaming those to network.old and system.old before sysupgrade is sufficient. That has worked nicely for me with R7800 kernel 5.10 DSA testing)
Luci still remains the same. Big mistake for the future.
I understand that security and new capabilities are the most important thing, and that the experts (not my case) are very comfortable configuring their devices from the command line, a minority according to what can be read in the forum. ..but what about the rest of us here "contributing" to this forum and we don't have that level of knowledge?
Intuitive, is the word.
Even Mikrotik has a quick setup page for dummies, and of course Luci is light years away from Gargoyle's interface. We have to address the interface issue now, or it will become very outdated.
If someone is going to answer me "Do it yourself", save it, nice phrase but nothing constructive. The small contributions that I have made to this forum have always been without expecting anything in return, I believe that each one should contribute according to their abilities.
I apologize in advance to those who may be offended.
thanks, i removed the 2 configs i applied you said, it works, i just had to migrate the configs for those 2 configs, so it is not so bad... thanks for the help!
