Hi.

I am planning to buil= d a system to be deployed in a SATA flash disk, and most of the file system= will be read-only. There will be a tempfs on /temp and a read-write partit= ion for /var (perhaps a unionfs with the static part of /var and that read-= write partition)

Is there any resources on how to do this using Gentoo?

There is already a development system with everything working as expecte= d on the final system. But when I put it to a squashfs, the system boots wi= th several errors, like when trying to write to /etc and /var.

Looking on the new issue regarding /usr and / being on a dif= ferent partitions, I have found the file in /etc/initramfs.mounts. I have a= dded the needed fstab entries to be mounted before the system switches to t= he real-root, (as the comments on top of this file claims)=C2=A0 but there = are still errors during boot.

Thanks
Francisco
