I simply love it.

one comment (not important) :

"/dev/mtdbblock3" is in jffs2 format and jffs2 is compressed, then dumpfile is no longer readable text.

Can it be gunzipped? If so, a line as:

dd if=/dev/mtdbblock3 | zcat > /mnt/sda1/dumpfile

might do the trick. (I know next to nothing about OpenWRT's filing systems trickery)

kind regards,

Jos
