-# Class for generation of overlayfs mount units
-#
-# It's often desired in Embedded System design to have a read-only rootfs.
-# But a lot of different applications might want to have a read-write access to
-# some parts of a filesystem. It can be especially useful when your update mechanism
-# overwrites the whole rootfs, but you want your application data to be preserved
-# between updates. This class provides a way to achieve that by means
-# of overlayfs and at the same time keeping the base rootfs read-only.
-#
-# Usage example.
-#
-# Set a mount point for a partition overlayfs is going to use as upper layer
-# in your machine configuration. Underlying file system can be anything that
-# is supported by overlayfs. This has to be done in your machine configuration.
-# QA check fails to catch file existence if you redefine this variable in your recipe!
-#
-# OVERLAYFS_MOUNT_POINT[data] ?= "/data"
-#
-# Per default the class assumes you have a corresponding fstab entry or systemd
-# mount unit (data.mount in this case) for this mount point installed on the
-# image, for instance via a wks script or the systemd-machine-units recipe.
-#
-# If the mount point is handled somewhere else, e.g. custom boot or preinit
-# scripts or in a initramfs, then this QA check can be skipped by adding
-# mount-configured to the related OVERLAYFS_QA_SKIP flag:
-#
-# OVERLAYFS_QA_SKIP[data] = "mount-configured"
-#
-# To use the overlayfs, you just have to specify writable directories inside
-# their recipe:
-#
-# OVERLAYFS_WRITABLE_PATHS[data] = "/usr/share/my-custom-application"
-#
-# To support several mount points you can use a different variable flag. Assume we
-# want to have a writable location on the file system, but not interested where the data
-# survive a reboot. Then we could have a mnt-overlay.mount unit for a tmpfs file system:
-#
-# OVERLAYFS_MOUNT_POINT[mnt-overlay] = "/mnt/overlay"
-# OVERLAYFS_WRITABLE_PATHS[mnt-overlay] = "/usr/share/another-application"
-#
-# If your recipe deploys a systemd service, then it should require and be
-# started after the ${PN}-overlays.service to make sure that all overlays are
-# mounted beforehand.
-#
-# Note: the class does not support /etc directory itself, because systemd depends on it
-# For /etc directory use overlayfs-etc class
