Cannot mount ext3 for mount points
Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2019 12:58 am
Howdy again,
I'm trying to mount an ext3 drive (sd or usb) to create more space for installed programs. On the older versions of the firmware, this wouldn't be a problem. All I'd need to do is format the drive or card as ext3 and then follow the instructions on the luci interface. However, I can't mount drives anymore:
I tried running
error.
How can I mount the filesystem on drives again?
***EDIT***
I tried using a different filesystem (fat32) but I get this error now:
It seems like the root user doesn't actually have root privileges in openwrt. Whats going on?

I tried running
