Hi All, small update, I have a hunch that comment 3 of https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/13958 might be relevant for us: > additional 2cents: turns out i had mount-utils installed, whose > /usr/bin/mount had different output than the busybox one. this broke the > function rootfs_type() in /lib/upgrade/common.sh, causing the sysupgrade > script to switch something unswitchable...
indeed we have a binary in /usr/bin/mount and: export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin in /etc/profile So, it might be enough to replace the following in /lib/upgrade/commons.sh rootfs_type() { mount | awk '($3 ~ /^\/$/) && ($5 !~ /rootfs/) { print $5 }' } with rootfs_type() { busy box mount | awk '($3 ~ /^\/$/) && ($5 !~ /rootfs/) { print $5 }' } to get sys upgrade to work again. But I have not tested that (and most likely will not be able to do so before next week); yet I wanted to document this potential fix for the greater public...
