Hi Kai,

just re-read your first question.
I'm not sure if I got all questions right so let me try to explain what I
got :)

1) Configuration Admin service does have an internal storage, that one is
the ConfigRepository, I doubt you can make this one read-only as it's
internal
2) File-Install and CA are connected only by the property JB gave the
description to, but the FileInstall part isn't part of ConfigRepository
3) Make etc folder read-only that is possible
4) have different etc folders, that is possible, part of FileInstall
configuration.
5) Use sub-folders of etc for your own configs, possible.
6) Use a different folder then $KARAF_HOME/etc, it's possible just need to
configure it via the start script or set-env.sh


regards, Achim
