A/B partitioning - let's talk about the dirty RW files (asg2023)

Published: Sept. 14, 2023, 10:30 a.m.

A/B partitioning is great - you hermetically drop-in the whole new OS and boot\ninto it. Although, how can we manage and migrate the RW configuration and state\nfiles that lie within? Can we do that reliably on both OS upgrades and\ndowngrades?\n\nThis talk will explore the design used on the SteamDeck, the issues\nwe've seen while drawing analogies, and future inspiration with "Fitting\nEverything Together" by Lennart Poettering in mind.\nabout this event: https://cfp.all-systems-go.io/all-systems-go-2023/talk/MPAEFK/
