accessing the ro partition when chrooted in overlayroot












0















I am using overlayroot for a kiosk, I have managed to solve all of the problems associated with allowing changes to setting such as network configuration, but I am stuck now with bluetooth settings.



What I plan on doing is to setup the bluetooth pairing as per normal under the ro partition when overlayroot is active, and then chroot into the top rw mount and copy the var/lib/bluetooth device setting from the ro to the rw partition as bluetooth reads this folder during bootup to get it's data on paired devices etc.



Problem is I cannot seem to acces the ro partition when chrooted into the rw partition !



Is it possible to mount the ro partition under the rw so that I can copy from ro to rw and fix this last problem ??
