BOS edges have a read-only root partition. That causes many services to fail in starting.

This can usually be fixed as follows (here using timesyncd as an example):

- Reading the log on restart or start of the service in question (journald)
- find problems in the log, especially: of directories that need to be written to temporarily
- then either:
  - Creating the appropriate directories:
    - here: <code>sudo mkdir /var/lib/systemd/timesync</code>
  - Provide the directory contents as a temporary ramdisk.
    - here: <code>echo "tmpfs /var/lib/systemd/timesync tmpfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab</code>
  - or:
    - Creating the directories under <code>/var/bos/settings/tmp</code>.
    - Link with <code>ln -s TARGET LINK_NAME</code>
- Restart the service, if necessary parameterize before (sudo nano /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf, systemctl restart systemd-timesyncd.service)
