Diversion Does Diversion require entware? Can I hide folder?

[bmn1]

I installed diversion on my RT-AX86U and it has replaced my freshtomato ad blocking script + Pihole with no noticable change in ads.

However, it has placed a entware/ folder on my sda2 drive which I use for both media streaming and a shared network drive for my home which I use every day for work. Anyone browsing files on a TV or when working on my pc, sees this entware folder that I would rather not exist (I have no other visible folders on the drive).

1) Can I remove entware now that diversion has been installed, or must this folder remain?

2) If it must stay can I hide it? I tried the steps here but it did not work, even after rebooting all devices.

SMB sharing and skynet/entware.

I sort of have a solution but I was trying to see if there was a more "elegant/proper" one. It seems the SMB server shares out all root folders found on a USB device plugged into the router. This means entware and skynet show up. I of course can restrict access to these folders but I would...

( I only entered the line for entware and not skynet since I don't believe I have that. I did a chmod command (not sure which as it is not in that thread!) which turned the filename green but entware folder is still present).

I think you can choose what folder to share via USB Application > Media Server menu.

Let me ask you this. If you install Windows would you remove the windows folder in the C:\ drive?

Did you try @ColinTaylor ‘s solution and reboot after?

After trying @ColinTaylor solution, I ran "sh smb.postconf" and it returned:
smb.postconf: line 1: pc_insert: not found

Add this line before the pc_insert line:

source /usr/sbin/helper.sh

After trying @ColinTaylor solution, I ran "sh smb.postconf" and it returned:
smb.postconf: line 1: pc_insert: not found

Your /jffs/scripts/smb.postconf file should look like this assuming the share name is "entware".

#!/bin/sh

CONFIG=$1
source /usr/sbin/helper.sh

pc_insert "[entware" "browseable = no" $CONFIG

Test it by rebooting or running:

service restart_samba

 

[bmn1]

This still isn't working for me. Trying to troubleshoot, I performed "sh smb.postconf" and it returned

sed: -i requires an argument

The pc_insert command should perform the command sed -i "s/$PATTERN/$CONTENT/" $3 on the passed variables but something is wrong?
Is the single bracket around [entware correct?

 

[ColinTaylor]

I performed "sh smb.postconf"

That is not valid syntax for running that script. You need to pass the correct parameter to it. Try

sh /jffs/scripts/smb.postconf /etc/smb.conf

But the proper command is

service restart_samba

Is the single bracket around [entware correct?

Yes it is.

If you still can't get it to work post the entire contents of /etc/smb.conf and smb.postconf.

 

[bmn1]

sh /jffs/scripts/smb.postconf /etc/smb.conf

appears to execute (I get no error message)

 service restart_samba

returns
"Done."
but entware folder is still visible on my Win10 machine as well as my Roku.

Not sure if this matters but my networked drive on the Asus Merlin router is sda2 not sda1. I had an sda1 drive before on an older tomato router that I no longer use but I can see the sda2 is defined in the smb.conf file.

 

[ColinTaylor]

It's not working because you don't have a shared drive called "entware" as you have enabled guest login (which shares the entire drive as a single volume).

 

[bmn1]

I see. What I was trying to do is hide the FOLDER called entware on my sda2 drive
Can this be done? Not a huge deal but it is mildly annoying to see it and some people will browse into the entware folder from my TV, etc.

It's the only (visible) folder on the root directory--I store files on there (files used for work and also streaming audio/video files)
If there was a separate volume called entware I wouldn't mind that at all, but I think some of my access devices (ie Roku) need guest access to read the DLNA files. Anyway thanks for the help. If it can't be hidden I'll just try to ignore it.

 

[ColinTaylor]

Try using this /jffs/scripts/smb.postconf file instead of the other one.

#!/bin/sh

CONFIG=$1
source /usr/sbin/helper.sh

pc_replace "veto files = " "veto files = /entware" $CONFIG

Make sure you enter the pc_replace line exactly as shown, including the spaces.

Then service restart_samba

Perfect!!!! Success! You made my day
