Support TP-Link TL-WDR3600 v1 about openwrt-auto-extroot

should be addressed now, but feel free to reopen it otherwise!

I'll try swapping the USB later when I can get to it again. But is it possible the issue is just a flaky or poorly made USB thumb drive?

one thing that may matter is soft reboot vs. hard reboot, but you wrote that subsequent LuCI reboots work, so i have no useful idea.

if you can reproduce it on a vanilla OpenWrt, then it should be reported upstream. much more expert attention is gathered there.

I did a lot of testing with an assortment of USB thumb drives I had on hand. Only a couple gave me issue, mainly the no name USB thumb drives I got as freebies over the years. One such USB device appeared fine for transferring files but sometimes would fail to power up if power cycled a bunch of times in a row in a small time frame.

If anyone experiences issues, I'd try a different USB thumb drive first.

I now have a different USB drive working fine with this model and this project code.
