This whole thing can be dropped. FCOS is not using Ignition 2 since years now, so no need to mention the overwrite: true / `filesystem: root" difference.

That's how the journey began.
If you start googling (or asking AI), you get a mix of old and up-to-date answers.
It's difficult to know if the things in the old examples are still needed or omitted due to other reasons, such as a slight difference in configuration.
