I'm a little confused, how to preserve my configs when I reflash with sysupgrade. I intend to recompile my trunk firmware just to get traceroute6-support and have to reflash then.
I read, I can populate /etc/sysupgrade.conf with files and directories I'd like to preserve. But to be sure, not to forget files I changed, it seems to be the easiest way to use 'sysupgrade -c' instead.
The command-help says:
-c attempt to preserve all changed files in /etc/
Will files like /etc/configs/firewall reliably be preserved by -c, or is it just an "attempt" and beta-feature?
Are directories like /root not matched by -c, because this option preserves /etc/ exclusively?
What would you recommend, sysupgrade -c or just sysupgrade?
