Netgear R7800 running build r60276. I attached a USB hard drive box which I want to share. With previous build r53562 I have been able to use Samba to access the drive from my Ubuntu linux box flawlessly.
With the new build I cannot access the Samba share anymore. More specifically, I have 3 partitions on the drive:

You could consider using sshfs.

(I appear to not be able to post ls -la command output or whatever it is that prevents me from posting.)


It looks to me that owner and permission data as seen from my workstation reflect the properties of the files and folders on the thumbdrive itself.

Mounted on the workstation using a line like this:

sshfs -p <port#> root@<router.domain>:/jffs /mnt/jffs

I cannot remember if it required some extra installation on either workstation or router. You have an opt partition, so I assume you would have entware, like me, and can get required packages from there.

I've used samba and probably tried nfs, too, but wasn't happy with either and found a suggestion on this forum to use sshfs, which was new to me (except I remember using it for backintime to a remote drive).

Seems like sshfs was the way to go in my case. I had to install Entware and openssh-sftp-server and somehow I managed to have it working, I am not an expert.

Now I can mount the share from my Linux box with
