Is The /etc Directory Persistent?

[HarryMuscle]

Could someone clarify whether the /etc directory (and the files in there) are persistent between reboots? For example, if I create a second stubby.yml configuration file and store it in the /etc/stubby directory, will it persist after a reboot? I'm fully aware of the /jffs/configs directory that should be used for custom configuration files, but I'm specifically curious to know if the /etc directory is persistent between reboots.

Thanks,
Harry

Try it.

touch test.file

reboot

see if still there

/etc is a symlink to /tmp/etc FYI

No, it's stored un RAM.

Put the file on jffs and use a script to create a symlink on every restart.
