Description-en: tools to preserve tmpfs contents across reboots
fs2ram manages temporary file systems across reboots. Each tmpfs mountpoint
can be associated with a pre-mount script, which is executed by fs2ram at
each shutdown/reboot before the file system is unmounted. The pre-unmount
script must print a post-mount script on standard output, which is saved and
then run at boot time after fs2ram mounts the corresponding file system.
.
This package provides two pre-unmount scripts designed to preserve folder
structure and file permissions across reboots: this is needed to allow
hierarchies such as /var/cache or /var/log to be mounted as tmpfs.
