Raspi-config "Overlay File System" setting

FYI - Found out the hard way that it changes the file system to read-only. Graphs1090 and set-gain would install and run but didn’t survive a reboot.

This is a new option to me after upgrading images from 8.1 to 10.1. Figured it was somehow related to the expand file system function in a separate submenu. Next time I’ll read the configuration notes. :neutral_face: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/configuration.html

Try following command to restore system from “read-only” to “read-write”

mount -o remount,rw /

Next
sudo reboot
and check if Graphs & Set-gain servive the reboot.

That works, thanks! I made the same mistake on another Pi (used for network monitoring) and decided to try disabling this option in rasp-config and rebooting. Seems to have the same effect as the command you shared above.
