[OpenWrt-Devel] [BUG] NAND sysupgrade broke ubifs on Netgear WNDR3700v4/4300.

[Adam Kuklycz]

Hi all,

I've flashed my Netgear WNDR4300 with trunk r41336 and have run a series 
of tests.

Everything looks great!  I can restore backed up settings, I can 
configure it from scratch too should I desire.

Sysupgrade works fine on my WNDR4300 via the web UI.  Paul if you're 
still having issues with this on your WNDR3700v4 it may be specific to 
that model; I do not have one of these to test on unfortunately. But 
sysupgrade on the WNDR4300 works and works well.  All settings are kept 
when sysupgrading too.

If it helps Paul out I can email him my config file, write me directly 
for it; that should eliminate any mistakes that have been overlooked.  
Easy to do.

Will run the router for a few hours on the test bench and do some 
traffic through it, should that play nice then it's problems resolved on 
my end :)

Cheers
Adam
