mzakharo Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hi, I am running OrangePI lite with 5.65 Xenial. I followed tutorial on using overlayroot here "How to freeze your filesystem". However, when I run overlayroot-chroot to make changes, I am getting the following error when I modify files: "Read-only file system". Here is output of 'mount': /dev/mmcblk0p1 on / type ext4 (ro,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=50696k,mode=755) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) I tried running mount to make it read-write: mount -o remount,rw /dev/mmcblk0p1 #make changes, revert back mount -o remount,ro /dev/mmcblk0p1 While this works, when I exit overlayroot-chroot, my system's filesystem is stuck in Read-Only mode Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

mzakharo Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Ok, so the best way of working with the system I have found is to run "overlayroot-chroot + mount -o remount,rw /dev/mmcblk0p1" to modify /etc/overlayroot.conf and disable overlayroot and reboot; then make changes; then re-enable overlayroot in the conf file and reboot. Very cumbersome; Is there a better way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
