confused about snap os internals
i am working on an old 1100. it only has one drive. without a hard drive this device does not boot. so it's one of the older models.
but where is the actual OS and data stored? i don't think it's stored on the first partition on the drive or the drive at all.
the reason i am sure is because i recenty had to fix one.
the drive was on the fritz. i did a dd in a UNIX from old bad drive to a new 80 gig just to test it.
it worked. i made significat config changes, name changes and so on on the 80 gig. once i was confident that it was going to work. i got a larger 250gig and i imaged from the original bad drive.
when i switched the drives, the new imaged drive from the original bad drive had the new config i was playing around with. ???
