Hi,
I'm a relative newbie to using the TS-7400 card and am interested in
how to go about performing the following:
While the card is "up and running", having booted to the Debian
distribution the SD Card, update the root file system on SD card
partition #3 (my current configuration) via a remote upload via
ftp, etc.
I will already have an additional SD card partition that will hold
data that will persist across upgrades to the root file system.
I read through the bootloader doc and this appears to be more for
changing which kernel should be booted rather than switching to a
different root filesystem to boot from.
I'm thinking my only option is to:
1. During the upload, copy the uploading root filesystem image to a
secondary root file system partition on the SD card,
one created for this purpose.
2. Have some custom scripts that will check both the "primary" and
"secondary" root file system partitions on the SD card and look
for the existence of some special file within the root directory
of each indicating it is a newly uploaded new root file system
and should be mounted and booted from.
Is there an easier way to do this than what I am contemplating doing
above?
Any help would be much appreciated...a gently nudge in the right
direction would be great.
Andy
