Hello Members!
I have a strange problem with my Zyxel Armor Z2 for the last two updates, which I could only resolve by downgrading to the stable (now 19.07.7) revision, but that excludes WEP3, which I used for some time now.
The issue started with an upgrade to the r16237 build (from a snapshot version I cannot recall which was but not older that 1 month), and when ssh-ing to the router to do the updates and install the things I use it, it greeted me with the basic login as it should when I install it fresh and had my router completly reseted.
Of yourse I do have backup of my config, but this was unexpected. An every time I did a backup restore, after rebooting, the router was basically sweeped clean and all was reseted every time.
After some initial trying I did a standard df to see what the hell is going on, and seen this:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 4096 4096 0 100% /rom
tmpfs 238952 68 238884 0% /tmp
tmpfs 238952 92 238860 0% /tmp/root
overlayfs:/tmp/root 238952 92 238860 0% /
tmpfs 512 0 512 0% /dev
Seems like overlayfs is somehow pointed to /tmp so of course it gets deleted every time i reboot the thing, and afer going back to the up-to-date stable release (19.07.7), df shows the following:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 3840 3840 0 100% /rom
tmpfs 240228 22424 217804 9% /tmp
/dev/loop0 55765 13204 38234 26% /overlay
overlayfs:/overlay 55765 13204 38234 26% /
tmpfs 512 0 512 0% /dev
In here I can clearly see that the fs table is different, and also sizes are better and adds up.
I do not know what caused this, and I do not know why, but it is rendering the snapshot buillds unusable for me at least. I do not use double-boot and has not tinkered with the eMMC so the device is as stock as it is except for openwrt.
I would like to ask to whom can help me to how this issue can be resolved? I know basic linux, but not to this extent.
