-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: walter.huettenmeyer@… | Owner: developers
Type: defect | Status: new

Component: packages | Calmer (trunk)
Keywords: ar71xx, WRT160NL, chaos calmer, | Version: Trunk
pivot_root, pivot_overlay, extroot, solved |
-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
'''After updating to r44053 on my WRT160NL mounting /dev/sda1 as /overlay
stopped working.'''
/dev/mtdblock3 was mounted on /overlay and not unmounted before it tried
to mount my sda1 there, so it would not mount there.
Adding a mount point manually in fstab or via LuCI
''(git-15.019.63550-0d541a4)'' for /dev/mtdblock3 to solved the issue.
If you run into the same issue, please take following example:
{{{
root@router:~# cat /etc/config/fstab
config global
option anon_swap '0'
option anon_mount '0'
option auto_swap '1'
option auto_mount '1'
option delay_root '15'
option check_fs '1'
config mount
option target '/mnt/mtdblock3'
option device '/dev/mtdblock3'
option fstype 'jffs2'
option options 'rw,sync'
option enabled '1'
option check_fs '0'
config mount
option device '/dev/sda1'
option target '/overlay'
option fstype 'ext4'
option options 'rw,sync'
option enabled '1'
option is_rootfs '1'
config mount
option device '/dev/sda2'
option target '/mnt/daten'
option fstype 'ext4'
option enabled '1'
config swap
option enabled '1'
option device '/dev/sda3'
}}}
After a reboot it worked, and after many more it still is.
'''I'm not sure if the delay_root setting is necessary,'''
but with this setting it works and setting it to 15 didn't have any
negative impact.
If I check the available space, I can see it is working, LuCI also reports
the correct size and free space.

''For me, this bug could be set to <solved> if it may help others.''
