Deploy changes to active rootfs partition

[Dirk]

Hi,

I have a running (test-) mender setup, that will be work fine. But, how can I apply a mender-artifact without to lost some data. The customer will use docker container and AWS IoT with greengrass. In case of a new mender deployment, the mender client will switch the active/passiv configuration.

If there any type of deployment, which will only update the active partition?

Thanks
Dirk

Hi @Dirk,

Yes, you can use a custom Update Module for that. The following links should help explain it:

• What Is a Mender Update Module, How It Works and Why Use It? | Mender
• Create a custom Update Module | Mender documentation
• Update Modules - Mender Hub
