OSTree Manual |
---|
Given a commit to deploy, OSTree first allocates a directory for
it. This is of the form /boot/loader/entries/ostree-
.
The osname
-checksum
.serial
.confserial
is normally 0, but if a
given commit is deployed more than once, it will be incremented.
This is supported because the previous deployment may have
configuration in /etc
that we do not want to use or overwrite.
Now that we have a deployment directory, a 3-way merge is
performed between the (by default) currently booted deployment's
/etc
, its default
configuration, and the new deployment (based on its /usr/etc
).
