Hello, I feel that this really needs to be added to either the Samba setup documentation and/or the storage documentation:
*Enable also anon_mount in your /etc/config/fstab* submitted by* hnyman* at https://forum.openwrt.org/t/mounting-usb-block-info-block-detect-not-able-to-see-exfat-solved/1244/10 After upgrading and reinstalling the necessary packages to get my USB connected SSD drive recognized my data was no where to be found. gdisk reported a missing gpt header which it fixed (q - without saving any changes in a panic) And in Lede under mount points a weirdly sized partition was reported with no used space at all (my panic greatly increased) I had not made a back-up of my partition table, something I have taken care of now. As I morosely read the man-page for gdisk and how to repair a partition and tried a few things without saving the changes, nothing continued to be found. I stumbled across the above change to fstab in bold. I crossed my fingers, made the change, saved and rebooted *Everything is back,* nothing missing and nothing corrupted. I realize that my problem is probably self-caused in how I setup my samba shares in the first place. In my defense all I did was follow the instructions in the OpenWRT documentation pages regarding: USB storage and Samba fileshares. Sincerely, David B.
