Disable FriendlyCore's OverlayFS

Sorry for another question.

Now I'm using FriendlyCore xenial 4.14 with Nanopi neo. Current overlay fs is using sd card for both upper and lower file system but I want to use ramdisk as an upper root file system instead and use the 3rd partition to store other data, so I need to disable FriendlyCore's overlay fs and use my own overlay setup.

But from the wiki page http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index. ... s_on_Linux, the only way to disable FriendlyCore's overlay fs is to delete the 3rd partition only. And after I delete the 3rd partition and create an empty new 3rd partition, it always converts back to an overlay again.

Is it have a method to disable FriendlyCore's overlay fs or re-config it to use a ramdisk for an upper file system.

Thank you

Comment out overlayfs parameter in /boot/boot.cmd file to disable overlays and recompile boot.cmd to boot.scr file.
