[Cerowrt-devel] cerowrt-3.10.21-1 development release

[Cerowrt-devel] cerowrt-3.10.21-1 development release

[Dave Taht]

This is nothing more than a resync with openwrt and a bugfix for
dnsmasq. It is completely untested.

+ fresh merge with openwrt
++ bunch of ath9k fixes
+ update to dnsmasq 2.68rc4 (fixes cname and a few other bugs)

- haven't found time to address http://www.bufferbloat.net/issues/436
   plan to update the machine involved to this version.
   hope to get more reports from the field. ? Would like to find someone
   with comcast ipv6 to try this on....

- the /sbin/mount bug explanation sounded plausible but haven't tried it
   will do so shortly

- have several reports of a successful "fragmentation?" crash attack
  in openwrt in general, but no details.

I'm taking a bunch of machines into the lab thursday and hope to work
on the latter problem while putting several new machines/OSes through
their paces...  It seemes likely I will do another build between now
and thursday.

In short, not a lot of reason to try this release. Feel free to keep
digesting your turkey.

New version of pie should get dropped next week.

	The quickest test should be to deinstall mount-utils before running sys upgrade (as far as I know mount-utils is the source of the incompatible mount binary). The new cerowrt will automatically bring in its already installed mount-utils, so everything should work after the upgrade. I have not tested this yet, but I assume this is what I'll try the next time :) 
	BTW, what is the reason we need mount-utils in the first place, or what is the busy box mount command missing?

best regards

As best as I recall it was needed for ext4 and btrfs support on
mounting external devices, but that was years ago.

It's been running fine for me this morning. I didn't experience the odhcp6d
issue personally (21 day uptime on 3.10.18-1). Thanks.

Hi Dave,

	Thanks for the information; so I used this a starting point and I have the impression that now a days the mount-utils are needed for mount by label and mount by UUID. And if I understand correctly the new block-mount and ubox opkgs already allow mount-by-UUID without mount-utils. So even though I am currently mount by label, maybe mount-util can be relegated to an optional install in cerowrt, hoping that might solve the sysupgrade challenges.


best
	Sebastian
