I am trying to edit the /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt files.

However, anytime I edit or even copy them to the /boot like this:

sudo cp /boot/config.txt /boot/config.txt.orig

when I reboot the changes are vanished.

I tried to sync filesystems, the /boot partition is mounted rw.

/etc/fstab mounts the boot partition to defaults, overlayfs does not seem enable (or I did not manage to see it)

Even when I use the raspi-config tool, it changes the files but when rebooting, changes disappear.

I just don't understand what is happening.

Installation information

Debian version is 10.4

$ cat /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster

ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"

Can someone give me a lead to disable that strange behaviour ? What did I miss ?
