Shell History name and location changes?

For Developers
1

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this was an intended change. I noticed that my previous shell commands was not being loaded into the history or doesn't survive reboots.

This is enabled on my builds

Then flashing my latest builds, that's when I noticed previous histories are gone. After investigating it more, the filename and location was changed.

Original (last known working Nov 2024) Location: /root/.ash_history
Latest Snapshot: /tmp/.busybox_ash_history

Was this an intentional change? How do I make sure that the history survives reboots?

Yes the change
