It creates 2 levels of indirection so that files can be modified while in their image state as well as during runtime. For example, a file like <$imgroot>/etc/ntp.conf will have the following operations done to it: -\ * mkdir -p $imgroot/.default/etc*\ +\ * mkdir -p $imgroot/.default/etc*\ -\ * mkdir -p $imgroot/.statelite/tmpfs/etc*\ +\ * mkdir -p $imgroot/.statelite/tmpfs/etc*\ -\ * mv $imgroot/etc/ntp.conf $imgroot/.default/etc*\ +\ * mv $imgroot/etc/ntp.conf $imgroot/.default/etc*\ -\ * cd $imgroot/.statelite/tmpfs/etc*\ +\ * cd $imgroot/.statelite/tmpfs/etc*\ -\ * ln -sf ../../../.default/etc/ntp.conf .*\ +\ * ln -sf ../../../.default/etc/ntp.conf .*\ -\ * cd $imgroot/etc*\ +\ * cd $imgroot/etc*\ -\ * ln -sf ../.statelite/tmpfs/etc/ntp.conf .*\ +\ * ln -sf ../.statelite/tmpfs/etc/ntp.conf .*\ When finished, the original file will reside in \ *$imgroot/.default/etc/ntp.conf*\ . \ *$imgroot/etc/ntp.conf*\ will link to \ *$imgroot/.statelite/tmpfs/etc/ntp.conf*\ which will in turn link to -\ *$imgroot/.default/etc/ntp.conf*\ +\ *$imgroot/.default/etc/ntp.conf*\ Note: If you make any changes to your litefile table after running liteimg then you will need to rerun liteimg again.
