My apologies if this is a little more of a stupid newbie question than some of you are used to, but i'm trying to find a way to edit the file system and i'm still in the 'dangerous' category when it comes to linux commands.
dmesg gives me the following:
VFS: Mounted root (squashfs filesystem) readonly.
admin@RT-AC66U:/# mkdir test
mkdir: can't create directory 'test': Read-only file system
here's my current mounts:
admin@RT-AC66U:/# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)
devfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,noatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
As you can see, /dev/root is mounted as read-only. I've tried to remount it using "mount -o remount,rw /dev/root /" and this appears to work (it gives no error or successful message) but the filesystem remains read-only.
Anyone remember a way around this? This is currently the stock ASUS firmware.
Edit: Here's my uname -a for the device: Linux RT-AC66U 2.6.22.19 #1 Tue Nov 4 22:09:24 CST 2014 mips GNU/Linux
