Owut: OpenWrt Upgrade Tool

I was actually going to start a new thread about this, but here, I think, is a better place to report this. I've installed OpenWrt on Ubiquiti USG and performance-tuned it quite a bit (out of the box, performance was atrocious, but offloading and packet steering together worked up quite a miracle), but owut just wouldn't play along... Anyway, here's the test output:

root@USG:~# owut download
owut - OpenWrt Upgrade Tool 2025.01.06~e623a900-r1 (/usr/bin/owut)
ERROR: File system type 'squashfs' should be one of [ ]

Ans here's the device info, since the test didn't provide it:

root@USG:~# ubus call system board
{
        "kernel": "6.6.73",
        "hostname": "USG",
        "system": "UBNT_USG (CN5020p1.1-500-SCP)",
        "model": "Ubiquiti UniFi Security Gateway",
        "board_name": "ubnt,usg",
        "rootfs_type": "squashfs",
        "release": {
                "distribution": "OpenWrt",
                "version": "24.10.0-rc6",
                "revision": "r28388-58d0057481",
                "target": "octeon/generic",
                "description": "OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc6 r28388-58d0057481",
                "builddate": "1737575574"
        }
}

Note: This behavior was first observed with the regular settings, before changing attendedsysupgrade.server.url, but it persisted after the change.
