extroot not working

[derzahla]

Hey, thanks for the build. I really like that you have built all the modules. However I have been unable to get my usb drive working as an extroot with your image. I first noticed that your image was extremely stripped down and lean so I had to install a few things I wouldnt normally have to like kmod-fs-ext4 kmod-usb-storage and block-mount - maybe im still missing something?

For setting up my extroot, I have a script based on the standard instructions https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/extroot_configuration but I am unfortunately very unfamiliar with the openwrt init process and use of overlays. I did notice that my /dev/ubi0_1 device that usually gets mounted under /overlay was now getting mounted to /rom/overlay so I adjusted for that but still no luck

'uci show fstab' was correct. It displayed my USB extroot partitions UUID and a target of /overlay. but "mount -a' or 'block mount' run manually would still not mount my extroot to /overlay. So I dont know where fstab data is being pulled from but its not uci like it always has in the past.
