Thanks Stuart for all these thoughts. That's a lot of great ideas. Let me try to clarify a few things:
- change `do_fsck` to `do_fsck -y` --------------------------------------------- I assume you mean Line 410. That seems like a great idea. Do I understand correctly that the normal behaviour for this `do_fsck` is to run the check, and mark filesystems dirty, and then enter single-user mode? Whereas if I replace it with `do_fsck -y `, the filesystems will not be marked dirty, and it will not enter singe user mode? - starting network and sshd in single user mode ---------------------------------------------------------------- In /etc/profile, I guess I can add something like: if [IS_SINGLE_USER_MODE]; then sh /etc/netstart rcctl start sshd fi does that seem reasonable? (I have to figure out how to check if I am in user mode) - noatime, memory buffers, mfs ------------------------------------------ All great ideas, I will implement that. @crystal, thank you, unfortunately, even an SBC on the router is not a viable option for this specific use case.
