Thanks.
I tried to use your script for creating swap on the USB drive. I didn't notice any difference in USB I/O performance. However, it seems used RAM value was slightly decreased.
Thank you. That helps.
Could you please tell how to undo nvram set script_usbmount ?
just in case :)
By the way which is the model of your external HDD? Does it have an external power supply?
Thank you for your answer. Probably ntfs-3g requires less power than tntfs which explains stability with ntfs-3g.
I want to write a script which remounts HDD with ntfs-3g in case of router reboot (without GUI):
stop samba daemon
stop miniupnp daemon
umount /tmp/mnt/MyPassport
ntfs-3g /dev/sda2...
MyPassport USB3.0 is backward compatible with USB2.0. I think 500 mA is not a problem for router's USB interface. Additionally, it is a 2.5 inch HDD and does not require external power supply.
I enabled USB3 Reducing USB 3.0 interference. Write speed of HDD increased to 28 MB/s. HDD was remounted with tntfs.
I checked the filesystem on hdd via router's web interface. The log is
ntfsck 3014.5.21
Checking NTFS Superblock ...
Device name : /dev/sda2
NTFS volume version: 3.1...
Let me show you a full relevant log:

Thank you for your reply.
Let me provide some additional information. HDD's smart is perfect. I've got stable 145 MB/s write speed with Windows (NTFS) connected via USB3. I formated HDD with HFS+ using router's GUI. Everything was stable (without I/O errors) and performance was nearly 40MB/s...
Hello.
I've read a lot about ntfs vs ext in linux. I have a brand new WD MyPassport Ultra 4TB which is used with Windows PCs and laptops. So ntfs is the only choise. Now I want to use it with my AC66u B1 router (Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.384_20648). When I plug it into USB3 (or USB2) interface...
