This is what I am trying to understand. As per my understanding this is how stuff used to work in 0.3 - Whatever you needed writable was stored in the image itself in /ro. For eg a config file you needed which was supposed to be in /etc/prod/prod.conf - the base version was stored in /ro/etc/prod/prod.conf - /rw was empty in the image - the actual /etc/prod was a soft link to /rw/etc/prod - At boot time, /etc/init.d/mountall.sh has line tar -C /ro -cf - . tar -C /rw -xf - So at booting everying in /ro was copied to the empty /rw directory.
Let me know if I am mistaken in my above understanding. In 0.6.5, there isn't any /ro directory in the image. There is an empty /rw. There is no tar line in mountall.sh So how will this work in 0.6.5? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Kim-man 'Punky' TSE > Sent: 12/14/10 03:12 PM > To: Voy User > Subject: Re: [Voyage-linux] 'ro' changes in version .5 onwards > > Change log is here, but not very precise. > > http://svn.voyage.hk/repos/voyage/branches/voyage-live/0.6.5/config/chroot_local-includes/CHANGELOG > > There was a couple of announcements in mailing list and in linux.voyage.hk > talking about major change to ro/rw starting > in 0.6.0 series. > > Regards, > Punky > > On 12/14/2010 3:56 PM, Voy User wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I am planning a major upgrade from 0.3.x to 0.6.5 of voyage.
