opt link missing at boot

[justmwa]

Hi,
after a reboot /mnt/opt was properly mounted but there was no ln -s /mnt/opt/entware to /tmp/opt and optware services logically failed to start. What can I do to fix this (aka wife won't yell at me after a reboot breaking the internet =) ?
thanks.

I think I nailed it: ab-solution nuked post-mount content, more specifically
if [ "$1" = "/tmp/mnt/opt" ] ; then
ln -nsf $1/entware /tmp/opt
fi

Doesn't this work only if your thumb drive is labeled "opt"?

Yes, indeed, path will vary depending on where you installed entware.

I would find the label 'opt' for a thumb drive highly confusing.

Call it "tmp" even better
