[Buildroot] - Question: How to change safely /var/log --> /tmp in buildroot

[Marko Stanisic]

Thank you for the fast response,

is it possible to overwrite that behaviour by introducing an overlay  
filesystem and

     (1) create a "relative" symlink /var/log --> ../tmp/LOG", and 
afterwards

     (2) mount /tmp/LOG --> /mmcblk0p9

I already  testet it manually on the board, but still not sure how to 
implement (2) :

    2.1) postimage.sh (which i use to create the images)

     2.2) or as an init script in init.d


(3) take your solution and chnage behaviour in skeleton-init-sysv or 
skeleton-init-openrc package
if that is possible


Thanks again for everyy support!!!
