3. Getting files into the filesystem when the development
system does not allow root access.
3. is a non-issue for most common file systems.

We do this all the time. We have a very minimal root filesystem and aren't
currently using any of the frameworks for building root filesystems, so
OK Robert wrote this on ARM-Linux mailinglist but the discussion

What else is there out there for rootfs, really? A hack
from every embedded company there is? I'm more after
what people actually *use* and what is community driven
