Hi James, config_ovr/fastreboot_default will certainly work. Recalling my conversations with the SMF team I suspect that's what they wanted me to do as well and I simply misunderstood. I will clarify with the SMF team and post a summary.
I would be happy to rename the function to scf_fastreboot_disable_transient(). Would that work?
