Question

I have a RUT955 (FW Version 00.07.00) with a SD card used for memory expansion and an USB stick used for a samba share.

The memory expansion works well: the block device /dev/mmcblk0p1 is mounted on /overlay and seems it is working.

The USB stick itself seems to work as well. The block device /dev/sda1 is mounted on /mnt/sda1.

But when I try to configure a shared directory in the Samba server (Services > Network Shares > Shared Directories), the destination path always jumps to the path /overlay. I choose the path /mnt/sda1 (USB stick), save the configuration, switch the view to another page (e.g. USB Tools > General). When I siwtch back to the view Network Shares, the path is changed to /overlay again.

Am I doing something wrong? Or what´s going on here?

Regards, Widi

Addition: Apparently the error is only in the configuration UI (WebUI). The samba services are obviously configured correctly (via the share I can access the content of the USB stick). 

But I always have to pay attention to the path in the WebUI. Wenn I recall the view Network Shares, the wrong path is shown and will be used, when I click Save & Apply.

A few screenshots:

The desired settings for the network shares

That´s working so long. When I press [Save & Apply], the correct network shares are selected. See the following extract of smb.conf:

Select another view

I switch to the page USB Tools > General

Everything looks well here.

Switch back to Network Shares

... and the setting path of the network share was changed.

The configuration of the network share has not been changed up to this point:

However, as soon as I press the button [Save & Apply], the wrong setting is applied:
