Subject: [PATCH V3 0/4] read-only rootfs support
Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2012 10:57:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1356576405.git.Qi.Chen@windriver.com> (raw)

From: Chen Qi <Qi.Chen@windriver.com>

The series of patches add support to read-only rootfs.

The main idea is to use symbolic links to create the illuion that some
directories are writable in case of a read-only rootfs.

This set of patches have been tested on minimal images with and without
'read-only-rootfs' image feature enabled. Everything is OK.

For sato images, everything is the same as before if 'read-only-rootfs' is not enabled.
With 'read-only-rootfs' enabled, sato image could work if graphic interface is diabled.
When all postinstall problems are resolved, sato image should work well (maybe with some
small changes in volatiles-readonly-sato conf file).


The following changes since commit 90c0eb29f0b41e4ac2d3d17ebad7295c2ebdc02a:

  rootfs_rpm.bbclass: remove debug code (2012-12-19 21:43:55 +0000)
