[Devil-linux-develop] 1.3.5 Query

[Dick M. <di...@fo...>]

Bruce,

I just loaded DL 1.3.5 on VirtualBox without a etc.tar.bz2.  It comes up just fine.

It seems we have /etc-cd  /shm/etc-mods and /shm/etc

My first question is what is etc-mods - is that a default etc.tar.bz2 ?  If so I 
would expect that to be empty.  It seems to contain a lot of stuff like for 
example services all the postfix defaults etc etc.  It looks like you are 
copying a default etc.tar.bz2 into it. I assume that's where your mystery files 
are coming from.

What are you intending there?

I take it /shm/etc is just a mount point for the aufs - is that right?

The way I envisaged it was that etc.tar.bz2 would be loaded into /shm/etc-mods 
if it existed (otherwise /shm/etc-mods would be empty).

/etc-cd and /shm/etc-mods would be mounted aufs on /shm/etc.

Any config changes in /etc would appear in /shm/etc-mods and ultimately copied 
to etc.tar.bz2.
