Sorry for being dense: where is the overlay filesystem during all of this?

For a start, this isn't really about x86, is it? It's about systems
which use block-based storage instead of flash?
This is for anything which makes the mistake of using CompactFlash or SD
instead of letting the OS have real access to the flash.
There are x86 systems (like OLPCv1, anything with

Sounds like you'd be a lot better off using btrfs snapshots for that.
Note that btrfs-progs from the git tree now has a '-r' option to create
an image from a given directly, much like genext2fs does.

Hey,
well, and it only affects those installations that use ext4.
Using sqashfs and jffs2 is perfectly possibly on block devices.
Sysupgrade works fine with them on x86.

Not entirely. If you do sysupgrade -n, even with a squashfs image, the
image isn't actually upgraded. The upgrade process skips writing the
image file and proceeds with a reboot without having done anything.

I think the layout of the x86 filesystem needs to change in order to
support sysupgrade properly. Personally I'm using an alix2 board with
the ext4 filesystem (trunk image). I've not had much luck getting
reliable sysupgrades when using a pure ext4 filesystem. It works only
sporadically. More
Just a reminder that this bounty is still unclaimed.
