What do you need? resflash by itself does relatively little to the base installation. It sets up a dual-partition setup with a read-only root and replaces /etc, /var, /usr/lib, /usr/libexec and /usr/share/relink with mfs mounts during early boot (copying the files from the readonly root) so that no writes go to the disk during runtime. After the switch it mounts a /cfg partition and from there copies specifically persisted etc/ and var/ configuration to the mfs mounts if any exists. This is done right after "rm -f /fastboot" in /etc/rc I like this setup for the easy upgrades and rollbacks, since I can just write a new image to the alternative root and tell the bootloader to boot from it. Beyond that, I don't do anything special with the filesystems. I suspect the mfs shuffling is somehow triggering this bug, but I don't understand the kernel well enough to debug it. I reproduced this issue with an unconfigured image built from today's snapshot, so if you want I can host that for you to investigate. It should run on vmd or qemu as is. -- Jarkko Oranen <[email protected]>
