Hi Team,

Facing an issue while unpack the overlay in some custom location other than “/” directory. From the LAVA linaro documentation I came to know that the -C / command to tar is essential or the test shell will not be able to start. Below are the issues that I am facing because of this.

• My / directory  is a read only one and I want it in some /etc or /var.
• The LAVA job is getting stuck while doing the unpack  with the command below in job definition.

transfer_overlay:

      download_command: cd /tmp; wget

      unpack_command: tar -C /tmp -xzf

Below I am attaching the test log from LAVA.

How we can solve the read only filesystem image issue for unpacking the overlay other than “/” directory ?
