Tangentially: Qubes is very cool and I'm glad you find Fedora useful as a base system. I work on Fedora CoreOS and have patches in a lot of OS components; lorax, systemd, etc. If there's something blocking you feel free to reach out and I may be able to spend some time to help. Also, if you decide to investigate using rpm-ostree for the Qubes dom0 - I'd be very interested in helping. > *guess* it's there for historical reason, from before > aufs/overlayfs being available. Is there any other reason for that? There is one thing to consider; overlayfs-on-overlayfs is not supported, so this would break podman/docker out of the box. But we could probably have them fall back to the vfs backend; it's not like we really care a lot about performance in the live media case. One side note for OSTree-based systems we have some built-in support for the read-only media case: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/commit/ff6883ca0655ac8844cd783caf6a7d8815515ba3 Which then changed to use systemd: https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/commit/05d0ee5cbecd1287b87d38e969862a5d8b1f2e58 That still has /etc and /sysroot be read-only though. Extending to overlayfs for / would allow e.g. `rpm-ostree install` to work as well if the upperdir is on a writable layer. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
