Sorry, I should make it clear what is actualy part of the feature under test.peebee wrote:Is this a temporary fix or a design decision for how the new init will always work?
Putting pfix=nocopy does not seem intuitive to me - I want Puppy loaded into ram to maintain the speed advantages.....I've never used nocopy so I'm vaguely remembering that that's what it means..
The use of pfix=nocopy as the trigger is just a testing convenience, not a new way for puppy to operate.
The possible feature is, that we can have normal pupmode=12 with overlayfs and without any shutdownconfig.
In the next version, pupmode=12 will be triggered by the existence of a save directory, either empty or populated.
Note:
I've never been a fan of the concept of users being presented with shutdownconfig on first shutdown.
I am pursuing the idea of having a puppy that has persistence, without any shutdownconfig. Although there would still need to be a save layer configuration utility for those who like to fiddle.
For the record, "pfix=nocopy" means "don't copy the sfs's to ram".
