I've refreshed the patches to work with current trunk (as the old
patches were no longer applying cleanly due to recent changes). There
are also a couple of minor functional changes some of which make the
usb root stuff I'm working on easier.
Do you plan to overlay the internal flash?
I actually are currently working on root overlay on sdcard/usbstick. As
far as my tests went, mini_fo cannot overlay an already mini_fo'ed
filesystem.
Therefor I am currently stuck with this current model:
- absolute minimal jffs image < 4MB (to keep it writeable for essentrial
configuration and testing now, could be read-only squash later, but then
the modifications to mount_root are bigger than one line :)
- a oneliner on the end of /sbin/mountroot that runs an init script
(eventually /sbin/init.d/mount_ext_root as symlink for
/etc/init.d/sdcard or /etc/init.d/usbstorage, the symlink is only there
if root overlaying is activated)
- optional mount_ext_root could be a full blown script
(en/disable,configurable), taking care of mounting the partitions and
leaving device stuff to the appropriate other init scripts
Drawback:
- does not work on first boot
Advantage:
- one concept for all external media providing root filespaces
