[OE-core] making /var/log persistent

2015-08-12 Thread Jack Mitchell 
I'm trying to make /var/log persistent and I'm having trouble. I've made a 
bbappend to base_files which contains:


dirs755_append =  \
/var/log \


volatiles = tmp

Looking in the resulting image, /var/log is indeed now a directory and not a 
symlink to volatile storage, however when the image is flashed to target and 
booted it is reverted back to being a symlink; I assume by some init script?


Can anyone shed any light on what more is required to get a persistent log 
directory.


Cheers,
Jack.

I sent out a series of patches regarding this area.
The patch title is [OE-core] [PATCH 0/4] Support persistent /var/log.
