AR300M expanding to add USB drive

[raspey]

I am trying to expand an AR300M to test its use as an SFTP/FTP storage device that I can upload files to a folder from an ESP32 device. It obviously has a limitation when I install packages.

Can someone let me know the best way to expand storage with a USB drive installed so I am not limited for installing extra packages? It seems very fiddly at best but I want USB to be an EXT4 partition mounted in /mnt/usb

If you mount your use in /mnt/usb you can just mount it as normal Linux.

If you want to install packages on USB you should use exroot.

X750v2 Spitz not enough space for plugins?

In my AR750 Creta Save backup User config Update Firmware resetting everything 3.201-402 (beta6) Install Luci just right after updating I had a 512Mb USB in it and also a 64Gb SD I made /overlay in Luci>System>Mount Points Add Select SD or USB Flash, in my case USB. /overlay Reboot. Easy after few tries. Import User Config Bye
