If I unplug the drive and plug it back in it works. Reading some other threads they mention fixes involving scripts. Are those relevant here with USB / filesystem support built into the firmware?
It seems that the hotplug usb service is not being invoked during system startup. I am using following startup script to overcome with this issue:
Copy and Paste this script to Administration/Commands/Command Shell and save as startup script. To enable swap, you should think of using init scripts as shown bellow:
A new version (v4) has been published with patched dropbear server to use /opt/libexec/sftp-server.
For me, now it's feature complete so won't publish new releases unless I discover any issue. Of course, I would provide new images if next official release won't include these feature!
Seeing as you are the only one doing something on this build... any advice/fix for ddns? I have dynamic IP and can't use ftp, etc. because of this...
It looks like a known issue in r17201 build. As this is just a mod of that build, it inherits all those issues.
Unfortunately, I am not using ddns so can't test at the moment but let me know if there is any workaround. I will try if I found some free time during this weekends.
Excuse my noobness but I can't seem to get this build to mount my external hard drive. I have 2 partitions, 1 is 100gb (which I want to use for downloading torrents to) and the other partition is just what I save all my files to.
I also tried a FAT32 and NTFS flash drive which also didn't mount.
I just installed DD-WRT and don't know where to go from here. I basically want it to detect my external and then I want to download torrents to it.
Any help would be much appreciated

NTFS support in not built into kernel so it won't mount automatically. You are required to install ntfs-3g using optware and should create a startup script to mount the NTFS partitions. Please go through the wiki for more information.
I have tested all the mentioned file systems (including NTFS using ntfs-3g) and there are also reports from other users that it works perfectly.
Are you sure that you have flashed your router with this custom firmware build and not the official release?
Just 2 questions .. 1. Does the new v4 mod require any sort of mounting script ?
2. Do i need to reinstall optware for this . As i have 60+ torrents seeding and around 160Gb of data ... so setting it up again and hashing the torrents is a mammoth task atm .
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I understand I have to ntfs-3g using optware but can't seem to get it installed. The wiki is a little confusing. I managed to install a ext3 partition of 1 mb and the rest unformatted which mounted fine to the router.
Now I am confused what to do after this. Using the wiki under Installing Optware Light. I logged into telnet but can't seem to install it.

No you don't have to reinstall.
BTW, v4 has only single change. The dropbear has been patched to use /opt/libexec/sftp-server. If you want sftp then just install openssh-sftp-server package from optware.
Enjoy!

I suggest you to prepare your disk with at least three partitions. First as ext2 or ext3 with enough space to install optware on it (mine is 500MB). Next one using your preferred file system for storing data (I am a Linux user, so always using ext3), and third one for swap (100-500MB).
Go through the official wiki page for this router. Also check this very informative article. You don't have to follow every steps but just understand how to do that.

Thank you will upgrade tonight bought this router for DD-WRT only and now am very happy with the support am getting on it .

I've compiled a static version of inadyn from r17625. I added an s to the end of the binary name so making changes in the DDNS tab doesn't kill my binary when it tries to restart the broken inadyn. You can copy it to /opt/sbin if your running optware or on put it on a cifs share
The nvram size has been hard coded to 64K.
I configured DDNS using the Web gui and then start inadyns in the startup script pointing it to the config file in /tmp/ddns.
