First, identify the files, which were changed. The resulting listing should mostly contain files, which are expected to have been changed, so this article will focus on the /etc/

- Log in as
root
. - You can inspect the file system structure in
/
, but the actual changes reside in/rw/overlay-rw/
- Run the following command to find all changed files (you can pipe it to a file as well for easier inspection):
find /rw/
- Now let's run a more narrow search to only find the changed files in
/etc/
:find /rw/ | grep "/rw/overlay-rw/etc/"
- Let's say, you found this file, and you know you modified it:
/rw/overlay-rw/etc/check_mk/logwatch.cfg
- You can remove the changes by running
rm /rw/overlay-rw/etc/check_mk/logwatch.cfg
- Do NOT remove the file at
/etc/check_mk/logwatch.cfg
! This would remove the whole file and not only custom changes!
- You can remove the changes by running
- Congratulations, you have reverted the file to its factory default.
