The combination of OverlayFS with SquashFS and JFFS2 has been the default OpenWrt setup since the beginning, and it works flawlessly on “raw NOR flash”. “Raw NAND flash” in typical routers is generally larger (32 MiB – 256 MiB) and not error-free, i.e. it may contain bad erase blocks.

The OpenWrt Flash Layout The embedded devices (routers and such) OpenWrt/LEDE (Linux Embedded Development Environment) has mainly targeted since its inception, use flash memory as the form of non-volatile memory for the persistent storage of the firmware and its …

Increase block size from the default 256 KB to improve compression Block size must be a power of 2, between 4096 bytes and 1 Megabyte. By default, 3 blocks will be cached so this will also make the router use more RAM (if 3 blocks are cached, and a block size of 1024 KB is used, this will use 2,304 KB more RAM (3 * 1024 KB - 3 * 256 KB)).

Oct 11, 2013 · The Arduino Yun (running OpenWRT) has a nice tool for expanding the disk size: http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ExpandingYunDiskSpace Looking inside it for the console commands, it formats the new disk to ext4 (mkfs.ext4) and then copies the files with rsync. Maybe it'll be helpful for someone who gets to this page...
