We just ported our platform over to OpenWRT and have it running. 

I found that temporary storage devices like USB do not get mounted when
the OpenWRT router is rebooted, although the drives were properly
mounted prior to the reboot. This seems to happen because usbfs is
invoked after fstab does a "mount -a", in effect the mount point isn't
found. The fix for this would be to move S20fstab later on in the
initialization sequence..after S39usb. That would make sure the mount -a
gets executed after S39, and not before or even in it.

 

Is such a reorder acceptable, i.e. can I move S20fstab *after* S39USB?
Is it likely to be accepted when we push our changes upstream (to the
openwrt sources)? Or was OpenWRT designed to NOT automatically mount
non-persistent storages like usb on reboot?

 

Thanks

Kunal
