- By properly resizing the volumes we should devote ~200 MiB to this image so it can be permanently stored somewhere in the device. This should probably be another UBI image in a different MTD device, that's where "re-partitioning" will come into play.
- Re-partitioning might affect the system and require changes to the ramdisks...
- Then, we should have a program we can install in the maintenance ramdisk that will let the user choose whether to update using "update.zip" or reflash from the recovery image. I imagine that CWM does this, but we could probably have a more rudimentary program if it's easier.
Ok, I'm not saying anything new in here, but I wanted to do a "brain dump". |
BUMP - Has anyone been able to figure out a partitioning scheme in order to make a recovery partition possible?
