I have a client with a number of embedded style systems around the place.
Unfortunately they didn't design them as embedded systems to start with.
As such they mount / RW and when there is a power failure or similar (or
just through general use) the systems often wind up getting hosed.
What I was after was a convenient way of adding an item to the grub menu
that would presumably boot off a 2nd partition or some such and then DD
an image over the corrupted partition. /boot is typically ok
There's plenty of hard disk space around to have multiple images of a
working system.
I can see how it can be done, but I don't imagine I'm the first person
to want to do something like this and I was wondering if anybody had
some experience with a similar solution?
