Read only OS to prevent OS corruption on SD card

Hi,

My understanding from other Pi projects is that it’s good practice to set the filesystem as read only, so that if there are crashes or power offs the sd card won’t be corrupted. I’ve tried doing this on patchbox with raspi-config and it doesn’t seem to work. Has anyone else looked at this?

What steps did you take and what errors you got?

Thanks. I tried using raspi-config to set an overlay file system but when testing it appeared the filesystem was not mounted as an overlay. I’ll have to check the exact command I used to check that.
