Hi all,
first of all i want to send big thanks to "geva420" for a very usefull workaround and very fast answer.
His solution is working for me wery well - yet ...
I really dont need DATA partiton which is primarily intended for share via Samba or FTP !
So on my 8 GB flash disk i have only 2 partition:
first is 128 MB for swap and rest of free space i use for ext2 for /opt .
I tried a few restarts over command line and everithing withou problems.
So the current situation is more than enough for me.
If i will have any problem with this in future i will post it here
Thanks again for useful tip geva420
No problem. I read a lot about people trying to fix the problem- which were the usual DD-WRT hours and hours to troubleshoot something.
I prefer avoiding the problem and getting things working quickly. Glad to hear it worked. I'll remove my DATA partition as well when I get home. It's nice to have there, but I use a NAS anyway, so any Samba/NFS/FTP/AFP shares are all on the NAS.

I was getting twice:
Status: Mounted on /opt
Status: Mounted on /opt
My data volume was hiding my optware so nothing was working.
I thought this is such a silly problem. I looked at the source code in SVN. The USB automount is implemented in DD-WRT/src/router/services/services/usb_hotplug.c. Around line 500, it is easy to see that the automounter only tries to automount partitions 1-6. So if you are getting more than 1 partition automounted, move the data partition to a partition# greater than 6, like 7. Problem solved.

Nice work around. What conditions are being used to consider the partition as an Optware partition? Setting it as a partition 7 or above is good, but how can I keep the automount script from mounting the newly created filler partitions as /opt as well?

Set the partition type to 0 (empty) and don't create a file system on them.
BTW, the Optware partition needs to be #6 or less. It is the data partition that needs to be greater than 6.
