entware migration

Hi;

I want to replaced my current entware installed USB driver, anyone knows how to transfer it to another usb driver?

You mean the label or name of the device has changed where Entware is installed on?
Change the following lines in /jffs/scripts/post-mount to the new device name or label.
Use the actual device and folder names instead of the explanatory placeholders <> I used:

if [ "$1" = "/tmp/mnt/<entware device>" ];then
    ln -nsf $1/<entware folder name on entware device> /tmp/opt
fi

Also entware which I currently installed needs to been transfer to new usb driver

Can you plug in two USB devices?
Just copy the folder in the old device over to the new device.

If both USB devices are the same size

rsync -av source dest

should do the trick

If not, I think dd would work, but I'm not too sure on the syntax you'd need to use.

Go to old disk and compress entware-ng or entware-ng.arm directory, this way permissions are preserved

cd /mnt/sda1
tar -cvzf ./entware.tgz ./entware-ng/

Copy and untar to new drive

cp ./entware.tgz /mnt/sdb1/
cd /mnt/sdb1
tar -xvzf ./entware.tgz
