/"So, if you have a configuration file to edit or add, find where in

I'm trying to configure DUNDi. How do I know where the keys in
"/var/lib/asterisk/keys" belong in AstLinux?
My biggest bit of confusion is the transition from the keydisk to
unionfs. How do I know which files below in /mnt/kd and which ones can
stay where they are? Wouldn't it make sense to do something like this?
*/etc/zaptel.conf => /mnt/kd/etc/zaptel.conf
/etc/asterisk/iax.conf => /mnt/kd/etc/asterisk/iax.conf*
or
*/etc/zaptel.conf => /oldroot/mnt/asturw/etc/zaptel.conf
/etc/asterisk/iax.conf => /oldroot/mnt/asturw/etc/asterisk/iax.conf*
*sigh* Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the hard work that goes into
AstLinux. But I'm about ready to pull my hair out. If I can help with
documentation, even though I'm new to AstLinux, I will. Perhaps it would
help people to avoid my frustration.

Clara,
I'll try to add a little insight, you might be at a good point to take
your knowledge and start over with a freshly formatted card.
1) unionfs vs. kd : In the past, an additional write-able partition
for a 'keydisk' (/mnt/kd/) was the only way non-volatile configuration
files could be referenced along side a read-only system image. The
latest addition of unionfs allows a write-able partition to overlay
the read-only system image and magically make the read-only system
image appear read-write.
A key point is that even if you are not using a third partition for a
keydisk, and only using unionfs in the second partition (as Darrick
suggests in the notes), you will still want to place all your
configuration files in the /mnt/kd/ path. This also has the added
benefit that all your configuration files are under a single directory
tree, so backups and restores are simple.
A simple example, your zaptel.conf should be placed in /mnt/kd/
zaptel.conf. This is the AstLinux way. Creating /etc/zaptel.conf
(via unionfs) will not work, and possibly cause trouble. You might
think this is silly, but pre-unionfs dictated this solution, and as
stated above, has other benefits.
So, if you have a configuration file to edit or add, find where in
the /mnt/kd/ path it belongs.
2) /mnt/kd/rc.conf vs /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/ : AstLinux configuration
settings can occur in only two ways, either a single /mnt/kd/rc.conf
file or all the *.conf files in the /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/ directory. the
rc.conf.d/ directory has precedence, so if it exists, the rc.conf file
will be ignored (as Justin has demonstrated in his post.) The new web
interface uses the rc.conf.d/ directory, so a convention is suggested
that user settings not handled by the web interface should be placed
in the /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf file. The ZAPMODS variable is such
an example. I discuss this in the altweb documentation.

I hope this adds a little insight to the AstLinux configuration
schema. You want want to start fresh, using the /mnt/kd/zaptel.conf
file you built and add ZAPMODS in either /mnt/kd/rc.conf or /mnt/kd/
rc.conf.d/user.conf

Lonnie
