How to mount the system folder wirtable?

[HCfon]

Hi, everyone

I'm working with eclair-x86 and I want to make some WiFi usb doungle
working.
I need to alter the driver/libharware_legacy code frequently. For
compiling single
module, the time is acceptable. But for the time to dump usb image to
my usb
disk is quite long. I think if the system folder can mount wirtable so
I can just
copy my new module into the system folder without wating for dumping
the usb
image?

I've tried alter the origional content of init script:
mount -o loop /sfs/system.img system
to:
mount -o rw,loop /sfs/system.img system

but it's not working. I'm not familliar with mounting, so can anyone
give me some
hints to work around this? Thanks.

"system.img" use ext2 file Image. Sometime to change contents in system.img, I used to try below command:

# mount -t ext2 -o loop ./system.img ./test_folder

Thanks for your reply

I've found that the file system keeps read-only because the system.img
is inside another image file named system.sfs which is the types of
squashfs.
Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux, and Android-
x86 will use it to compress the system.image by default.
After adding the USE_SQUASHFS=0 making option, the file system now is
rw.
