Hello,
 
I would like to create a read-only root filesystem with Angstrom.  I saw here:
 
https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6.1/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#creating-the-root-filesystem
 
That one can add
 
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "read-only-rootfs"
 
to local.conf to this end, but I'm unsure whether this applies to Angstrom.
 
When I do that, I get an error from angstrom-libc-fixup-hack.bb because it wants
to have a post-install script create a symbolic link at run time, which won't be
possible in a read-only FS.  The script explicitly checks that it is running on
the target before creating the link, but it seems like it should be possible to
create a link in the root FS during filesystem creation rather than depend on a
target-side post-install script.
 
The bigger question this problem raises is: Is Angstrom going to be read-only
filesystem friendly?  Should I even expect to be able to use this
"read-only-rootfs" feature?  Is anybody using a read-only filesystem which
they've created with Angstrom?
 
I am using angstrom-v2013.12-yocto1.5.
 
Thank you,
Michael
