Well, consider the source of the ticket; I didn't think it was relevant, either. I will say it's likely much easier to develop your own patch for this and submit it via pull request on github than to open tickets or threads. _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

If BS or maybe Joker accepted my suggestion, I would not need to open a ticket. Or maybe there was a pending ticket about it?
I was always wondering why Unbound never picked up /jffs/etc/unbound.conf after USB storage was mounted, but not MiniDLNA nor Lighttpd nor Samba. I think this explained it.
And if and only if my suggestion corrected the problem, the patch should be back-ported to previous DD-WRT builds.

Create github account, fork the repository, create pull request. On your fork, you can edit the file for the intended patch and it will allow you to submit a pull request to the dd-wrt mirror. It's not all that difficult, and I'm sure you're very capable. As stated, patches do not get backported to previous versions of DD-WRT as has always been the case.

I rather suggest changes and wait patiently for the developers to patch the codes. They are more familiar with the codes than me.
As I said before, I just wanna find out how things work or break by reading the C source codes.

This sort of stance after your analyzes is not how one learns, if you made a patch and its wrong, you learn more than by asking someone else to do it for you. There is value in failing, not just succeeding.
I cant imagine its laziness either after you scour through files endlessly, so it must be something else.

It's not about laziness. I still need to spend time to read, discover, report and suggest. That still helps the whole DD-WRT project anyway. As long as I make things clear when suggesting patches.... _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

If you are confined to windows you can use tortoise and only do a partial download:

I have it on my travel laptop which has little storage and only windows
Thanks!! I don't frequently read the codes, so it's fine to download the whole master.zip.

That is fine
I will see what I can do
I think we forgot one thing: a patch can be submitted via the forum as a file attachment!
Thus developers and helpers can review and talk about the patch using the forum.
I don't wanna directly touch the source codes using git until I can properly secure my PC like those mainframe computers in big banks. It's really very dangerous to do it otherwise.

I have been discussing it with BS and the problem with your solution is that it always restarts unbound after the USB is up so also if there is no conf file on USB.
But BS has found a more sophisticated and universal solution which he also implemented for other services which can have a .conf file on USB.
