Hi again, > The "workdir" needs to be an empty directory on the same filesystem > as upperdir.
In our case, upperdir is /live/overlay/, which itself is a tmpfs mountpoint. I assume we can't put workdir *inside* upperdir, so to satisfy the condition quoted above, we probably have to go on mounting a tmpfs on /live/overlay/, but then use sub-directories within this file hierarchy for upperdir and workdir, as opposed to using it directly for upperdir. I assume we can do that, as neither the /live/overlay/ path nor /lib/live/mount/overlay apparently has never been part of the documented live-boot's interface with the rest of the world, so it can be considered to be an internal implementation detail. If we go this way, then code needs to be adjusted accordingly at least in the 2010-remove-persistence, 9990-misc-helpers.sh and 9990-overlay.sh components. Some stuff in live-tools might need adjustments too. Thoughts? Cheers, -- intrigeri -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
