- Where are the packages stored, when an "opkg install package " is
performed?
Packages are installed on the root parition of the system. Libraries are installed in /lib, binaries in /sbin or /bin.
2)Do u think that a pivot root instead of pivot overlay will solve this issue?
No. The overlay is just not properly configured.
3)Or it is better to partition the USB and use this "swap" feature?
The overlay fs has nothing to do with the swap feature.
To analyse the issue why it is not working I need the partition table of your device:
opkg install fdisk fdisk -l /dev/sda
and the output of these commands:
cat /etc/config/fstab ls -l / lsmod opkg list_installed
Kind regards, Johannes Morgenroth
