Sharing an USB drive: which protocol?

[lollapalooza]

I'd like to share a folder on my USB drive.
Router is WNDR3700v2, with Gargoyle latest version: 1.10.0

This folder contains videos to be played with Kodi on Amazon Fire TV Stick.

That is easy but:

1. I don't want to login and manually unmount the drive any time I power-off the router, or I unplug the drive.
   So how do I force Gargoyle to mount the USB drive as read-only by default? Is there a file to edit to change this behaviour?
2. Which protocol is better (CIFS/NFS), in order to keep as low as possible the CPU load on the router?
   There are a few HD files, and they often freeze for some time.

Thanks a lot.

Nobody has an answer?

If you google how to do this in Linux, you will have an answer.

I wouldn’t recommend pulling the harddrive without unmounting otherwise the system may exhibit unexpected behaviour.

By reading OpenWRT documentation, I tried to edit the file /etc/config/fstab, by adding the following section:

Code: Select all

config 'mount'
        option  uuid            '0ce23c22-01'
        option  options         'ro,sync'
        option  target          '/mnt/usb'

Unfortunately the USB drive is still mounted as rw.

Any suggestion?
