I have switched rootfs now to squashfs, that ist working. But I have problems with the overlayfs.
It is on /dev/mmcblk0p1, but I do not understand how to tell the system to use this partition. I cannot find a matching example.

What I did:
1) Added an fstab to the squassh image:
config 'global'
	option	anon_swap	'0'
	option	anon_mount	'0'
	option	auto_swap	'1'
	option	auto_mount	'1'
	option	delay_root	'5'
	option	check_fs	'0'

config 'mount'
	option device	'/dev/mmcblk0p1'
	option enabled '1'
	option target '/overlay'
	option fstype 'ext4'
	option options 'rw,sync'
	option enabled_fsck 0
	option is_rootfs '1'

2) label the ext4fs rootfs_data
3) added rootfs_data=/dev/mmcblk0p1 on kernel commandline.

But fstools does not mount it.
Please help.

Kind regards,

André
