read_only_rootfs_hook: this funtion is invoked only if 'read-only-rootfs'
is in IMAGE_FEATURES. It tweaks some basic files and makes populate-
volatile.sh script run at rootfs time.

choose_volatile_conf_file: this function is invoked no matter
'read-only-rootfs' is in IMAGE_FEATURES or not, it properly chooses
the right conf file for volatile storage handling according to the
IMAGE_FEATURES.

Maybe use 'defaults,ro' in fstab?
In my understanding, 'ro' and 'defaults,ro' are the same. Maybe I'm wrong, but what's the difference between them?

Wouldn't be better to have a package which provides the need valatile
config? this makes it easy to reuse for other images.
Yes, you're right.

In fact, I think it should be the initscripts recipe which provides the volatile conf files. Because both populate-volatile.sh and the conf files it uses logically belong to initscripts. So I'll remove this function from image.bbclass and choose the correct conf file in the initscripts recipe.

After examining it a little more bit, I found out that the conf file has to be chosen at rootfs time. It cannot be done by other recipes like initscripts because of the sstate-cache. For example, if we build a minimal image first and then a sato image without any change to recipes, the recipes will be skipped by bitbake. And as IMAGE_FEATURES are not fully determined until the core-image-xxx.bb file is built, using a do_xxx[vardeps] += "IMAGE_FEATURES" in other recipes still don't do the work.


Also, for the purpose of easy use, as you mentioned above, I think we should allow users to use customized conf file if they want to. So I want to support customized conf file for volatile storages in initscripts recipe.

The same reason stated above, I can't come up with an elegant solution to this feature.
Any suggestion?

Cheers,
Chen Qi
That's all what I've came up with for now.
I'll send out a patch V6 as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Chen Qi
