Re: [OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] wic: Content of the temporary updated fstab should be copied into the original not replacing it entirely.

Hi Mathieu,

Thank you for the you time testing this thoroughly.
After some test, I was able to provide a new alternative (attached to this message if everything goes well).

For the performance part of ext* and msdos fstype I have nothing to counter argument. I did not find a way to add xattrs using those methods and, according to what seemed to be the natural way of
the code design of wic, I let all the fstype flal under rootfs.py.  Any other solution is welcome!

For the second part, this time, instead of using cp, I let the install be like it was before. However, instead of running it under the pseudo environment, I executed it as the host machine.
This way, I was able to recheck the database using pseudo, which will fail and therefore led the files.db to be rebuilt. This happens because he is able to detect the inodes of fstab entry on all
the tables do not match and update them accordingly. This way we don't run the risk of modifying the original content of fstab under the normal yocto output files because the file is actually not the same.

I also ran oe-selftest -r wic.Wic.test_no_fstab_update on a core-image-minimal image with the patch and it seemed to have passed.

Best Regards,
Daniel
