Flash drive
I like to use the EXT3 filesystem on my flash drive. This is simply because PP is based on linux, and using a native filesystem will give you fewer headaches later. As I currently use linux on my desktop, only minimal extra effort was necessary to format the drive EXT3.
At the time of writing, the current USB drive release is v1.7, and the router is v1.3.
If you format the USB drive as EXT3, make sure to run this code (logged in on the router with the USB drive mounted) to set the permissions correctly:
chown -R root /mnt/disc0_1/
To clarify:
This doesn't do it:
chown -R root /packetprotector
You have to do this:
chown -R root /mnt/disc0_1/
Now that that's out of the way, let's get down to business.
