That's a very bad design idea. This is a very bad fit for an extra package and adjusting the partition layout by installing a package is a bad idea like programatically updating the fstab file. We don't have systemd and its mount units here, but there are other methods to mount something. The traditional GPT is too unflexible for that - the OpenWrt image size could change. Or you have your custom partition first and OpenWrt in the end so that shrinking the extra partition later is possible. So to make the extra partition possible, the sysupgrade process would need to extract the new efi and system partition to replace this partitions only. Then you can do what you want with the remaining disk - as long as no one increases the partition sizes because updates would fail then. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
