Expanding HD and Making Swap Space on OpenWrt Pt 1

[@alex9893s]

Can you make a video regarding how to expand the available storage space for squashfs type builds?

Hi there, You mind sharing the particular router your using? The preliminary research I did tells me that the squashfs is used on routers with SD card slots, so primarily the Pi routers. I don't own any so my first attempt will be to mimic one if that's possible. Otherwise, I'll put it on my to buy list when I have the spare cash to buy a cheap pi and SD card. I will also keep researching to see if there's something unique I can find out as there's chatter about potentially being able to use something different from squashfs which could be easier.

​@@CodeVelazquezHello am using NanoPi R2S

It does increase the disk space?

[@CodeVelazquez]

Yes, it will give you more disk space to install applications, just keep in mind that if you do this, that USB drive will need to forever be apart of that router to avoid any very weird behavior. I can't tell you how the router will behave if you install super important and heavily customized applications that you run and then the usb drive stops working. If you use a good USB drive, leave it in the router and forget about it, you should be fine.
