Hi all,

I noticed that support for "read-only-rootfs" in IMAGE_FEATURES is currently limited to using sysvinit.

Are there any efforts already underway to add support for read-only-rootfs for systemd? Aren't there already OpenEmbedded users out there generating read-only root filesystems with systemd, or is this somehow obscure? Is anyone aware of technical landmines toward pursuing this that I should be aware of?

Also, I would like this restriction to have been mentioned in the Yocto Project Development Manual where the feature is mentioned. How/where does one make a suggestion for an improvement in this documentation?

thanks,
Michael

This is not the case in dizzy or master. It works with both.

As mentioned above, it's not a limitation anymore, so that suggestion shouldn't be needed.
