Getting a presistent storage, and customisations of the directory layout to use those persistent locations, can not be done in a generic way. It can only be handled locally, as each one will need to adapt to their own constraints. > Fixes: https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12011 (partially) > > Signed-off-by: Carlos Santos <unixmania@gmail.com> > --- > package/dcron/dcron.mk | 1 + > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > diff --git a/package/dcron/dcron.mk b/package/dcron/dcron.mk > index 2ee0709af5..4a3994cd1a 100644 > --- a/package/dcron/dcron.mk > +++ b/package/dcron/dcron.mk > @@ -20,6 +20,7 @@ define DCRON_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS > # Busybox provides run-parts, so there is no need to use nor install provided run-cron > $(SED) 's#/usr/sbin/run-cron#/bin/run-parts#g' $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/cron.d/system > $(INSTALL) -d -m0755 $(TARGET_DIR)/var/spool/cron/crontabs \ > + $(TARGET_DIR)/var/spool/cron/cronstamps \ If this directory is required at runtime, then it should be created by the startup script, systemd unit, or any other startup mechanism.
