Got two JFFS2 partitions (on / and /var) and do PWROOT=/var/os mount --bind "${PWROOT}"/etc/shadow /etc/shadow then I modify "${PWROOT}"/etc/shadow and expect both "${PWROOT}"/etc/shadow /etc/shadow to be equal but the /etc/shadow is unchanged! Kernel here is 5.15.129 Doing the same on my 6.1.54-x86_64 works which uses XFS/tmpfs works Joakim
