# Class for setting up /etc in overlayfs
#
# In order to have /etc directory in overlayfs a special handling at early boot stage is required
# The idea is to supply a custom init script that mounts /etc before launching actual init program,
# because the latter already requires /etc to be mounted
#
# The configuration must be machine specific. You should at least set these three variables:
#   OVERLAYFS_ETC_MOUNT_POINT ?= "/data"
#   OVERLAYFS_ETC_FSTYPE ?= "ext4"
#   OVERLAYFS_ETC_DEVICE ?= "/dev/mmcblk0p2"
#
# To control more mount options you should consider setting mount options:
#   OVERLAYFS_ETC_MOUNT_OPTIONS ?= "defaults"
#
# The class provides two options for /sbin/init generation
# 1. Default option is to rename original /sbin/init to /sbin/init.orig and place generated init under
#    original name, i.e. /sbin/init. It has an advantage that you won't need to change any kernel
#    parameters in order to make it work, but it poses a restriction that package-management can't
#    be used, becaause updating init manager would remove generated script
# 2. If you are would like to keep original init as is, you can set
#    OVERLAYFS_ETC_USE_ORIG_INIT_NAME = "0"
#    Then generated init will be named /sbin/preinit and you would need to extend you kernel parameters
#    manually in your bootloader configuration.
#
# Regardless which mode you choose, update and migration strategy of configuration files under /etc
# overlay is out of scope of this class
