Ok, got ssh working via powershell, Putty didn't even work. But, I don't even know the basics here, how do ya change directories to the mounted drive?

cd /opt or cd /jffs. No idea what you are mounting the drive as. Just do a df and that will show you all your drive mounts.

Code:

# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 21248 21248 0 100% /
none 512 0 512 0% /dev
/dev/sda2 29392780 5728 27868616 0% /jffs
/dev/sda1 29391756 177464 27695908 1% /opt

This is a decent startup guide for those who may not be familiar with the Linux command line:
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/basic-shell-commands-in-linux/#

You need to remember, DD-WRT will not contain some of these commands, as it uses Busybox. But still a decent tutorial and should be about 90% reliable in your situation.

OK, figured it out, all folders show up as: root@<hostname>:/tmp/mnt/sda1# ls -l drwxr-xr-x <#> root root <size> <date> <folder name> There are 4 folders here What does this mean?

What I would try first is to just remove the folder you could not earlier, using the command I posted earlier. Make sure it works. Just a good test to make sure the FS is not corrupted.

Code:

rm -rf foldertodelete

Not a lot of good information here, but seeing you are mounting your drive at
/tmp/mnt/sda1 you should be able to:

Code:

umount /dev/sda1
fsck /dev/sda1

Let's see if you get any errors doing this.

However, it will probably get more complicated than this. If you have that drive mounted anywhere via network, and it's in use, it will probably not unmount.

In which case you will need to disable the Samba share first. Then try again.

Try this:

Code:

fsck /dev/sda1 -nf

This will check the filesystem without attempting any repairs. Should work even if in use.

You did something wrong.

Warning! /dev/sda2 is mounted.

Oh!! My mistake. I thought you mentioned in an earlier post you were using ext4. Exfat is entirely different.

Ok, so I exited out of cmd prompt entirely, restarted and ran those commands again. this time I got:

umount /dev/sda1 ...[seemed to work, no text response]
fsck /dev/sda1 ...
fsck 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023)
exfatprogs version : 1.2.0
/dev/sda1: clean. directories 11474, files 189225
(after several seconds)

I think I might have been in a wrong directory before...??

...

Now I just reenabled the samba share in the GUI, but in Shares/Path it says /mnt/sda1 [not available], and in explorer it says 0 bytes free of 0 bytes, and it says 'Empty Folder.'
Not sure whats happening.

The directory has nothing to do with it. We are on the device level here, not the directory structure. You could try this, but I don' think it will make any difference.

Code:

chmod 775 /tmp/mnt/sda1 -R

This changes the permissions of the drive/folder. You can easily change it back later with

Code:

chmod 700 /tmp/mnt/sda1 -R

Bedtime. do yourself a favor and read up on basic linux syntax/commands. I think you will find that Linux is so much better you will dump Windows. Wink

I want to inform you that on r54517, non-empty folders are now deleted without problems. There were probably some updates - I didn't follow them. Anyway, thanks to the developers for their work! _________________ Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 Automatically adjustable temperature, always within the range of 59-68°С.
