	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.

	Sebastian

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 :)
