	:::: After thinking over your suggestion, i have created a new page for [[OverlayFS]] and moved the "Loopback image with overlayfs" along with ''Overlay root filesystem'' sections to it as they are applicable not only to pi. I definitely agree that the references to mmcblk should be changed to make the content more generic and will do in the coming days. Also need to add pointers/links in the pi and Diskless pages. I have created a new page [[SquashFS]] to document modloop.

	::::: Actually I'm not sure having one overlayFS page discussing such 2 different scenario (even if the technical background is same) helps much: this wiki not a talk about core technology overview, but rather a user'guide to help setup useful scenario. rootfs tmpfs overlay mostly/only make sense in the context of traditional disk install, whereas disk loopback essentially makes sense in diskless mode: I tend to think it would be easier to understand if each topic is discussed where it is most likely to be used. -- [[User:Macmpi\|Macmpi]] 18:21, 1 April 2025 (UTC)		::::: Actually I'm not sure having one overlayFS page discussing such 2 different scenario (even if the technical background is same) helps much: this wiki not a talk about core technology overview, but rather a user'guide to help setup useful scenario. rootfs tmpfs overlay mostly/only make sense in the context of traditional disk install, whereas disk loopback essentially makes sense in diskless mode: I tend to think it would be easier to understand if each topic is discussed where it is most likely to be used. -- [[User:Macmpi\|Macmpi]] 18:21, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
