Hi boys, With the lastest dispute about NAND wear, I was thinking : on the Caanoo the rootfs is RO even $HOME is RO. Maybe we can copy this idea :
- set the rootFS RO at boot time (use mount -oremount,rw for upgrades)
- put /mnt and /media in a tmpfs (like a symlink to /var/tmp/)
- offer the ability to have an overlay for $HOME on the SDcard
That would be painful for those that use pandora more like a Linux PC. Things like ssh keys, editor and xfce configs would go away when you change cards.
Whatever happened to the idea to set HOME to appdata by pnd_run? That would take care of many cases. pnd_run could also export some variable like REAL_HOME for those apps that need it (they could restore HOME from that).
