Re: [Compactbsd-devel] Making Changes?

[James N. <kr...@te...>]

Hi Steve,

Yes it is possible to make changes persistent.

There is a file called /stand/mfs.tgz.
This tarball contains all the files that are copied into the mfs memory 
partitions.
Within this tarball are all the files you would need to modify to make 
changes persistent.

The reason for having mfs memory partitions, is because the size of the 
32MB flash is limiting but useful to small installs.
Another reason is performance - mounting as many partitions into RAM 
greatly increases the speed of the system, even if the hardware is not 
so speedy underneath.

Hope this answers your questions, and I apologize for not getting back 
to you sooner...
