I am interested in easy support for supplementing an OpenWRT flash disk with an external USB disk. The system would mount this disk at /var and make it available before any /var-using services are brought up.
It is already possible for a developer or admin to set this up. I presently make modifications to some of the OpenWRT startup scripts in order to accomplish this. I describe my method in bug #6077[1]. There is also a technique described in the Old Wiki[2]. What I would like to see is something that is a standard part of the OpenWRT image build process. Something that I could configure so that no modifications to the system are required (i.e., I presently have to rm /var, mkdir /var, edit boot scritps and reboot my router). Does anyone have any ideas? I'd be happy to help implement something if there is a consensus on what the right solution would be. Thanks!
