I've spent a bit of time on this, and was about to apply... However, there are a few "issues" I noticed with it, mostly that /etc/fstab should not be used with systemd, but mount units should be used, and so /etc/fstab should only contain this one line, so it does not make much sense to have it "reinstallable". Also, with BR2_PER_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES=y, when the "final" target is aggregated there is no guarantee that the modified file gets used in this case. Indeed, assuming the following dependency chain (simplified for the sake of the explanation): S <-- A <-- target/ `<-- Z <--' I.e. A depends on S (the skeleton), Z also depends on S, and the target is aggreagated from A and Z, and S. When you first build, Z inherits the fstab from S, and because it sorts after S, that the one that gets used. If you rebuild S, Z will not get rebuild, so will not get the new fstab. And thus when you assemble target after the rebuild, you still get the old file from Z, not the new one from S. (there are more complex cases, the above is just a trivial example). Finally, the only guarantee Buildroot really offers is fof a full build from scratch. And last, reinstalling a skeleton package is very rare, so fixing it is not worth the effort, considering all the above. So I just decided to drop it. Regards, Yann E.

The mount unit man page [1] says: "In general, configuring mount points through /etc/fstab is the preferred approach to manage mounts for humans. For tooling, writing mount units should be preferred over editing /etc/fstab." I'm not sure if the skeleton counts as tooling or as a human. Hm, probably tooling, indeed. > used, and so /etc/fstab should only contain this one line, so it does Well, no, if we say that the skeleton is tooling, it shouldn't contain that line at all; instead, there should be a mount unit to remount rw (and no mount unit at all for ro). > not make much sense to have it "reinstallable".

If there is any other package that writes fstab, it's wrong anyway. Unless it's done in the overlay or post-build-script, but the overlay/script anyway still gets applied after rebuild. >> + if ! grep -q "/dev/root" $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/fstab; then \ >> + echo "/dev/root / auto rw 0 1" >$(TARGET_DIR)/etc/fstab; \ >> + else \ >> + sed -i "s|/dev/root.*|/dev/root / auto rw 0 1|g" \ >> + $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/fstab; \ >> + fi >> endef >> >> else >> >> define SKELETON_INIT_SYSTEMD_ROOT_RO_OR_RW >> - echo "/dev/root / auto ro 0 1" >$(TARGET_DIR)/etc/fstab >> + if ! grep -q "/dev/root" $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/fstab; then \ >> + echo "/dev/root / auto ro 0 1" >$(TARGET_DIR)/etc/fstab; \ >> + else \ >> + sed -i "s|/dev/root.*|/dev/root / auto ro 0 1|g" \ >> + $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/fstab; \ >> + fi >> endef >> >> # On a R/O rootfs, /var is a tmpfs filesystem.
