I am a bit confused with "Note that /data is a mount point for the
persistent data partition". If /data is a different partition than the
root filesystem one, then what is the point of
having /data/mender/device_type in the root filesystem ? It will be
hidden by whatever partition gets mounted in /data.
(Side note: please make sure to run check-package on your changes, the
Config.in help text lines look a bit too long.)
Best regards,
Thomas
