I had to mount a filesystem in which the overlay will be copied to. I am using a Verbatim Store 'n' Stay Nano USB Drive - 8GB , (FAT32 filesystem) and I have to configure OpenWRT to recognize this device. I have installed the following additional packages :
kmod-usb-storage, kmod-fs-vfat , block-mount.
After rebooting and plug-ing the USB, I had the interface in /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 and the web page of the router seemed like this: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/usb-storage-samba-webinterface
Next step was to mount, I followed the instructions as described in the http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/usb.storage
mkdir -p /mnt/share mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/share -o rw,sync But I received an error mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/usb failed: Invalid argument. I have searched a bit around web to find any solution but it seems that sth is missing. Have you encountered a similar problem with OpenWRT on TP-LINK(3040)? Thanks in advance,
I formated the usb stick to ext2
What version of openwrt do you have?
I am guessing 12.09 "Attitude Adjustment" based on openwrt hardware page for TP-LINK MR3040
if so you were reading the wrong instruction set see http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/extroot#openwrt.12.09.attitude.adjustment
