I like this idea... That combined with always-poweroff-on-reboot feels like a good idea to compensate potential issues... Take the approach known from live-cd into account, such as aufs/unionfs and things should work well ... maybe master image doesnt even need a partition anymore, but can be just a .img file on the fat boot partition, just like how ubuntu live-cd etc. works... Anyone can think of reason to not put that into the backlog? If LAVA team decides to investigate that path, please check with DevPlatform team on how they can help... -- Alexander Sack <[email protected]> Technical Director, Linaro Platform Teams http://www.linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog _______________________________________________ linaro-validation mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-validation
