  1. By donate resources I meant time. E.g. help out with debugging, contribute code, answer questions for newbies on the forums. You know, all the things that would help alleviate your resource strain, and that people will *definitely not do* if they are personally attacked for asking questions about an *actually broken feature*. Being hostile to people so they "stop asking questions" is insane. How many people have you scared off with this tactic, who might have ended up helping others or contributing to the project? Where do you think new contributors come from? The name of this forum is literally "peer to peer technical support" but I don't see any peers supporting each other, just people getting yelled at by you and then never coming back. Anyway I'm not going to change your attitude, but maybe someday you'll realize that carrying this cross and spitting on people is just making the cross heavier.
  2. Yes I only think of myself, that's why I am calling out the toxic hostility that pushes people out of the open source community. If resources are a problem, maybe you should spend less time belittling people and getting defensive about it. It literally takes *less time* to be polite. You could have just said "This feature might not be working, start with google and let us know if you find a solution". It might even make more people inclined to help the project, a.k.a. donate resources. Anyway I solved this guy's problem and I'm going to post the solution here because I'm so selfish. After reading through the overlayroot github documentation, I found there were a few things missing after selecting the 'Enable Overlayroot' Armbian option: Add 'overlay' to "/etc/initramfs-tools/modules" file "sudo apt install busybox-static" Copy these two files where they belong (downloaded with "git clone https://github.com/chesty/overlayroot.git"): sudo cp hooks-overlay /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/ sudo cp init-bottom-overlay /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom Then I rebooted and the root filesystem is successfully overlayed.
  3. Seriously? You think that is an appropriate response to someone asking for help? You are not Linus Torvalds, and even he has acknowledged you shouldn't treat people like this. I see your responses to other questions are just as hostile, and you're making this forum a toxic and repellent place for newcomers who need help getting started. If you don't plan on helping anybody why are you posting here just to make them feel bad? A more useful response would have been "This feature is not fully developed, so it might not work as it says. Take a look at this other post for some guidance on troubleshooting", with a link and an apology for the tone you also used in that post. Is that honestly so hard? Literally saying nothing would have been better than a snarky condescending link to Google. Get over yourself.
