Thanks a lot Oleg for your quick reaction, much appreciated!

I've upgraded now from 1.7.5.9 CR5 to the one above: Wow, major difference. I needed to change/modify most of my scripts before things started working again. I'm now in the progress of testing the reliability of the USB HDD.

So far it seems that the USB transfer rate has gone down a bit.

Question: The mountpoint of the 1st partition is: /tmp/harddisk. Is this permanent (throughout the 1.8.x.x series firmware) or because of the beta version?
