Title: Setting Up Volatile Filesystem
Post by: grog on August 03, 2006, 10:20:56 pm

In the previous (read 2.4 kernel) OZ releases I was able to add symlinks to be set up under /var to point to a non-volatile filesystem to preserve stuff like the ipkg lists & my cron tab. Now under 3.5.4.1 (specifically GPE) /etc/default/volatiles/00_core doesn't seem to be followed. I've made the following changes (which as I said worked previously):

Code: [Select]

/etc/default/volatiles$ diff 00_core 00_core.org
27a28
> d root root 0755 /var/lib/ipkg none
40,42d40
< l root root 0777 /var/lib/ipkg /home/local/ipkg
< l root root 0777 /var/cron /home/local/cron
< l root games 0777 /var/games /home/local/games
Note that the directories under home/local do exist. Any ideas? thks

Well, I moved the backup copy of the original 00_core file into a subdirectory in case it was still being picked up somehow. No such luck.
