[WARNING]: This thread is only for feedback on this beta release for developers and the community's benefit.
DO NOT flash this beta release unless you understand the risks involved and device specific recovery methods.
Avoid discussions! Create threads for questions, general problems or use search; this thread is not for support.
Please list router model & revision, operating & wireless mode(s) and exact filename/firmware image flashed.
Issues, observations, and/or workarounds reported:
• DNScrypt 1.95 can still be used in the GUI, but v2 (not compatible) requires Golang and thus Entware. #6246
• WDS does not work on Broadcom ARM devices(only MIPS<->MIPS) & bridge modes on k4.4 devices may sometimes work
in some configurations for certain builds but are not supported by the bcmdhd driver. Use client or repeater instead.
• VAPs not working at bootfixed for unbridged VAPs in 40562 - 40566.Effective startup commandsdiscussion thread is here.
• If start-up scripts do not work from USB add a delay, e.g. wait script or 'sleep 25'.
• Broadcom ARM devices missing 5GHz channels, via Telnet/SSH: 'nvram set brcm_unlock=1' 'nvram commit' 'nvram reboot'
Important:
• For issues provide applicable info: 'dmesg', 'cat /tmp/var/log/messages', syslog, klog, serial, strace, tcpdump, wireshark etc.
• Any firewall NAT or WAN issues, show output: 'iptables -vnL', 'iptables -t nat -vnL', 'iptables -t mangle -vnL' and /tmp/.ipt file.
• Search SVN tickets & discuss in forum before opening. Before reporting: reset & manually set up, not restore from a backup.
• Please include operating & wireless modes (e.g. Gateway, Router, AP, CB, WDS, Mesh) & relevant configuration information.
Same problem as explained in build r45711. Reverted back to build r45592
Extract from build r45711
My diagnosis of the NAS problem: the file sharing path is /mnt; there should also be this path which is in the older builds, /mnt/sda1; I believe it originates from /tmp/mnt/sda1 but I can be wrong. I do not know how to point the path to /mnt/sda1.
Once you upgrade with no reset the message you get from NAS file sharing path:mnt/sda1(unavailable)
Also when you click on the share folder on the network from internet explorer in Windows 7 you get three (3) subfolders, sda1, sda5 and sda6; all empty. I believe they all originate from the Driver manager from /dev/sda1, /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6
How many more upgrades before this is corrected. Nas is not working.

@Abboo the path you should mount a partition is indeed /mnt/sdax (or /mt/sdbx if you have also a second USB port) or even /opt or /jffs if you named the partititions like that and enable automatic drive mount
If you do not have it consider should reviewing your settings and/or reformatting the drive again, I have no problems with my R6400.

Are you using an ntfs partition?
I am using ntfs partition.
Automatic drive mount is always enabled in usb.
My nas problem arose after build 45592 and they all say the same thing: /mnt/sda1(unavailable)
I performed a reset and manually rekeyed all data until I got to nas to discover the required path is not there and I cannot key in the path
Even though you are enjoying success with your router and nas, I have netgear r8000 with experimental drivers, I do not know if that can be a factor

I think experimental refers to the wireless drivers.
What changed is the ntfs driver.
Of course it is possible that in your particular router something goes wrong in building/compiling.
You can check if in /lib/modules/(xxx.xx.xx) ntfs.ko is present.
The router should check what format is present on the usb stick and then load the necessary kernel module.
If the router does not know the format it can not load the module.
Things to try:
insmod ntfs.ko manually
Reformat the usb drive, I use minitool partition wizard or gparted.
Router/Version: Netgear R6250 v1
Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r45735 std (02/11/21)

Question:
Is this a non default drive, i.e. more than one partition, or very large etc. ?
The size of my partition:
-- /dev/sda1
Block device, size 1.818 TiB (1999321956352 bytes)
Windows BOOTMGR boot loader
NTFS file system
UUID 01D4DDF8D599C780
Volume size 1.818 TiB (1999321952256 bytes, 3904925688 sectors)
/dev/sda1 mounted to /tmp/mnt/sda1
The above information was copied from build 445592
I also have /opt and /jffs
As to checking if in /lib/modules/(xxx.xx.xx) ntfs.ko is present and
insmod ntfs.ko manually
How to do these? I am a novice trying to learn a thing or two.
I initially formatted by usb drive using minitool partition wizard
Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2021 15:47 Post subject: Drive issues as well
Firmware:45729
Router: Netgear R8500
I have been having drive issues as well for a few builds now. I tried the firmware listed in abboo listed 45592 and I still have the issue. I will need to go farther back to see where this issue started.

I initially formatted by usb drive using minitool partition wizard
I was able to find /lib/modules/(xxx.xx.xx) ntfs3.ko in the build 45735 having loaded it.
As to insmod ntfs.ko manually, I do not understand it. As in build r45592, it says in the usb section: /dev/sda1 mounted to /tmp/mnt/sda1
But in the NAS section it says: /mnt/sda1(unavailable)
