Hi guys, I am getting this error on trying out this very sample directory overlay update. Can anyone help me? I am testing it on Raspberry Pi 3 module. Please do let me know if more information is required to debug the error. 2020-11-11 16:05:29 +0000 UTC info: Running Mender client version: 2.4.0 2020-11-11 16:05:36 +0000 UTC info: State transition:
