I formatted my USB disk to ext4 partition so that I can install Entware on it. Prior to that, I had a couple of folders shared via Samba with two account; admin with R/W and a guest account with on R access. After setting up Entware, it seems I can no longer gain to the folders on the USB disk unless I sign-in with the admin account. I cannot even see those radio buttons on Asus web interface that let's you select the permissions different users are allowed. Any idea why this is happening ?

After you formatted your USB disk you will need to recreate the users and share permissions from scratch as they wouldn't have survived that process.
