New oleg firmware version

[terxw]

I am using my old WL500gp as router and to collect data from my arduino sensors, running script which collescts data over serial line, parses it and save it in rrd database and online (cosm.com). I noticed strange disk activity every 5 seconds, trying to turn off screen session logging, increase data storage interval, and it all stays the same. Disk monitoring tools like atop are not functioning properly to identify specific process responsible for disk writes because support for it is not compiled into kernel.
Do you know any good method/tools for this?

Hey lly, any chance you could give us an update on oleg for RT-N66U?
Still waiting on the drivers?

DD-WRT and Tomato just don't deliver the quality and functionalities I need.
EXT4 and large LBA support is just nowhere to be found

Sorry, I know, we should done it last year.
At now, only free time for SDK 5.110 migration is a real problem

Ok, but it is possible then? It's just a time issue.
Maybe I can dig into it a bit, I've more spare time on my hands now these days
Do you have some pointers for me? where to look at etc. ?
Or is it just about getting the SDK5110 branch to build?

The unfinished part in sdk5110 branch is ... kernel. Broadcom modifications couldn't be applied "As Is" due to they move open-source fast-NAT into closed ctf.ko blob theMIROn's advice is to follow Broadcom and replace BCM_NAT.

Size of diff(patch) against kernel is 660Kb(made from ASUS GPL, can't be applied on our kernel). Of course, I can share it to you, but I'm not sure that we should load you this way.

Well, I could always take a look you know.
Sounds like a lot of work, but maybe I can at least get a few things done in the right direction?

I'm trying to convert the hard drive partitions to ext4. I archived the files in /opt, formatted this partition in ext4 as in instructions, connect the modules from the modules-1.9.2.7-rtn-r5066-MIPS32r2.tgz, corrected fstab, restored the files from the archive back, and reboot the router... ext4 partition is not mounted and is not displayed in the mount, df -h, and ext4 support in /proc/filesystems appeared. In what may be the reason that the section is not mounted? (

Router Asus RT-N16 c iOS 1.9.2.7-rtn-r5362. Some logs:

Does not mounted. Maybe have more some logs what I should to see?

Maybe in this case the reason is the same as described wpte, here?

[!gm]

maybe change barrier0 to barrier=0?

Hi,
Is there any newer router than RT-N16 which is supported by Oleg firmware? Unfortunately my RT-N16 went dead and it is not normally available on the market anymore.

Thanks a lot,
Pavel
