Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/4IceG/luci-app-ports-status-mod/issues/1

After compiling a certain plugin into the OpenWrt firmware, the following warnings appear at runtime:

Warning: Could not create port configuration file. Port customizations will not be saved. Check /etc directory permissions
Cannot make config file writable. Check /etc permissions.
This prevents port customizations from being saved, breaking normal functionality of the plugin. The issue seems to be related to the plugin attempting to write to /etc but failing due to permission or filesystem layout.

Environment

OpenWrt version: 24.10.5 and mainline

Plugin version: 1.0.5
