I need to copy a file from the external SDcard to a location in the root partition, during the boot process (from init), after /data is mounted. I used Carliv's tool to add the following line to init.rc but it looks like the external SDcard isn't mounted yet at that stage:
on post-fs-data
copy /mnt/m_external_sd/file /file
It's Android 7. How can I do that? Thanks in advance.
on property:sys.boot_completed=1instead ofpost-fs-data. It depends on when you need that file execactly in boot process. Or addwaitcommand. But better is to place the file in initramfs permanently, if it isn't changed on every boot. – Irfan Latif Feb 14 '19 at 17:38
