So I set my /tmp/harddisk/part1/ as an export in the 'usb application --> nfs server' page of the router (using Olegs 1.9.2.7-7c FW).
From my linux box, I can now do:
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.254:/tmp/harddisk/part1/ /home/ben/mnt/asus/
and it mounts the directory. If I try and write anything to there, I get an error message about 'read-only file system'
so I tried
mount -o remount,rw 192.168.1.254:/tmp/harddisk/part1/ /home/ben/mnt/asus/
which seemed to work, mount now shows the drive mounted as rw, but I still get the same error message when trying to write anything.
What am I doing wrong?
