I believe this is the appropriate forum for discussing this. Let me know if this is not the case.
I think that employing the syscfg partition as the overlayfs is not useful for this device, and for at least one case, harmful. The current setup that allows for a primary and alternate firmware image to be loaded is useful, it adds insurance if you aren't using the squashfs failsafe. However: 1. If a configuration problem prevents the device from booting, or renders the device effectively inaccessible, booting to the alternate image may not allow the device to be recovered. I think this negates the utility of having an alternate image. 2. One cannot test two different configurations effectively using two different boot images. Provided it does not affect the ability of a user to flash his or her firmware back to a manufacturer image, I would suggest that mtdparts be redefined and syscfg removed. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
