GL X750-V2 - not enough space - SD card /overlay

I'm going crazy...

It's about a GL X750-V2 with OpenWrt 22.03.4 r20123-38ccc47687, which I bought used for my camper van.

Since the available storage is limited, I want to expand it with an SD card in the internal slot, which should work via /overlay.

Unfortunately, I'm not a network or Linux expert, but I do have some knowledge and understand how it should work in principle.

Here are my steps:
The SD card was formatted as ext4 under Windows 11 using "MiniTool Partition Wizard" and installed in the internal SD slot.

I can find it under Mount Points, but it's not mounted.

Next, I configure /overlay under Edit and check the "enabled" box.

Everything is then displayed correctly under Mount Points. After "Save & Apply," however, this mount point doesn't appear in the Mounted file systems.

Even when I click on "Mount attach devices," nothing changes.

What am I doing wrong?

It's strange that I managed to do it once, but I don't know how, as it took me several attempts. After I triggered a restart from within Luci, the entire device was suddenly completely reset.
