Hi!
I haven't grasped the persistance overlay usage yet.
I usually create/update a personal spin every week and install it to a
usb stick. Since F9, I've also been using the persistance flag. I don't
use my liveusb everyday but I like to keep it updated and in my pocket.
Last weekend, I updated my spin and installed on the usb stick. Halfway
through, I noticed I had forgotten the overlay flag in
livecd-iso-to-disk command. I thought, "well, i guess it will be
detected since it was created previously...".
Yesterday, I booted my usb stick at work and upon boot I can see a
message saying no persistance overlay found. Err... my best guess was
wrong.
So, how does the persistance work:
- Persistance is created with livecd-iso-to-disk, if I run it again
without the overlay flag, previous persistance overlay is deleted?
- Persistance is created with livecd-iso-to-disk, further runs of
livecd-iso-to-disk won't detect previous overlay?
I honestly looked for more info on the fedora wiki and man pages, but I
couldn't find a wiki page or a man page about it. If these don't exist,
I would be happy to help build one.
Thanks and best regards,
