Hi all,

I am proud owner of several MR3020 routers with openwrt os on it but one is giving me a headache.
I am trying to configure it to be a "network usb hub" and failing to do so because of automounting.

Using: tp-link mr3020 + OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment 12.09 + lot of fat32 formatted usb flash drives.

To default configuration of openwrt i added:
kmod-fs-vfat
kmod-nls-cp437
kmod-nls-iso8859-1

but still failing to automount a drive.

I checked /etc/config/fstab and saw:

config mount
option target '/mnt/cifs'
option fstype 'ntfs-3g'
option options 'uid=65534,gid=65534'
option enabled '1'
option device '/dev/sda1'

witch to my knowledge is saying that only ntfs partitions will be mounted... or something like that... it does mount ntfs partitions just fine.

I am able to manually mount vfat partition and able to see files inside but after reboot it will not mount automatically.

I am just trying to configure my router to automount any fat32 or ntfs partitioned drive so if anyone has any idea please do help.

Thanks in advance !

with this setting in /etc/config/fstab

config mount
        option target '/mnt/cifs'
        option fstype 'vfat'
       option options 'uid=65534,gid=65534'
        option enabled '1'
        option device '/dev/sda1'

First flash drive (already used in numerous attempts) gets automounted

New flash drive (fat32) nothing happens...
