var_init folder

[tstony2]

Can anyone please tell me what the folder var_init is on a Dreambox 500c. Thank you

The var_init folder is where all the /var files go when the image is compiled.

When you first flash the image to your box, it does a 'flash erase'. This means that it deletes everything in the /var folder. It then copies everything in /var_init to /var and you are back to default. This is what happens when you do a factory reset.

The var_init folder is read_only so you can't modify it.

Only var folder is removed if flash erase is made?
