I am trying to generate images which have OverlayFS enabled so the image created is in a read-only mode when first booted. I am running
raspi-config nonint do_overlayfs 0which enables OverlayFS by adding a parameter to thecmdfile.txt. This should then enable overlayfs on first boot.When I boot and run
mount, I am not seeing the overlayfs mount:I can get it working by booting for the first time, running these commands, and then rebooting:
At that point overlayfs appears correctly in the mounts and any filesystem changes are forgotten on reboot.
I have added a test Github Action workflow which generates an image and uploads it as an image. You can boot this on a physical pi to see the behaviour.
I'm not really sure how to resolve this currently. Do you have any suggestions for how this might be achieved?
