Hi All,
Xfce 4.8
Scientific Linux 6.4, 64 bit
livecd-tools-13.4.5-1.el6.x86_64
For the life of me I can not get any persistence (things
don't stay between reboots).
What am I doing wrong ("#" is my boot prompt)?
# fdisk /dev/sdc d1, n, p1, t, c, w (use type "C" for fat32)
# mkdosfs -v -c /dev/sdc1
# livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 4095 --format --reset-mbr
/home/kvm/Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1.iso /dev/sdc1
Many thanks,

Never mind. I formatted the wrong stick. I swore
I only had one in at a time, but ... POOP!

Never mind the never mind! I still can not get
persistence on the right stick!
Anything I put on the desktop is gone the next reboot

What does the syslinux.cfg look like on the stick? And is there a
overlay-* file in the LiveOS directory?
If the cmdline looks ok and the file is there you can try addinf
rd.debug to the cmdline to get dracut to log what's happening at boot
time (it is what actually sets up the overlay during boot).

Hi Brian,
I can create anything I want on the desktop. Reboot, and it
is gone.
I did not know if you meant just mounted or booted up.
Just mounted I have a syslinux directory, but no syslinux.cfg.
I have no *.cfg files at all.
I do have this:
$ ls -al /mnt/LIVE/LiveOS/over*
-rwxrwsrwx. 1 root root 4293918720 May 4 22:52
/mnt/LIVE/LiveOS/overlay-LIVE-2b22693d-ad63-40eb-b63b-b55ac288f34a
Booted, I don't have a syslinux.cfg either.
$ su root -c "find / -iname \*.cfg\*"
/etc/rearj.cfg
/etc/grub2.cfg
/etc/grub2-efi.cfg
/etc/vdpau_wrapper.cfg
Is this it?
$ su root -c "find / -iname overlay\* -exec ls -al {} \;"
-rwxrwsrwx. 1 root root 4293918720 May 5 01:52
/run/initramfs/live/LiveOS/overlay-LIVE-2b22693d-ad63-40eb-b63b-b55ac288f34a
# grep -i overlay /var/log/messages
# grep -i liveos /var/log/messages
<nothing on either>

Tried erasing my whole flash dirve:

And starting over.
livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 4095
/home/kvm/Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1.iso /dev/sdc1
Cut fine, but still no persistence. I create a Leafpad
launcher, reboot, and it is gone. :-(

Came up with a work around.
I tried it on "FedoraLiveUSB Creator" and now
the persistence works fine.
GGRRRRRRRR !!!!! (Mumble, Mumble)
rpm -qa \*liveusb\*
liveusb-creator-3.12.0-1.el6.noarch
Would you guys please fix this!

Just to be sure that I get it right that time:
Creating an USB flash drive with persistence works with liveusb-creator-3.12.0, but does
not work with livecd-tools-13.4.5. Is this corrected?
I was confused that you called liveusb-creator-3.12.0 a "workaround". I would
take liveusb-creator first to create a live USB flash drive,
Have you tried livecd-tools-13.4.6?
rpm -ihv

Creating an USB flash drive with persistence works with
liveusb-creator-3.12.0, but does not work with livecd-tools-13.4.5. Is
this corrected?
Hi Urs,
Yes
I was confused that you called liveusb-creator-3.12.0 a
"workaround".
My bad. I meant I had found a way to create the Live USB stick
with persistence.
I
would take liveusb-creator first to create a live USB flash drive,
I was following copy and paste command line instruction
that I wrote. Included the formatting and all, so while
I was at the command prompt, I might as well run
livecd-tools too.
I also was under the mistaken impression that the GUI
ran the same command line tools for you, so I never
retested the GUI
Have you tried livecd-tools-13.4.6?
rpm -ihv
http://www.livecd.ethz.ch/download/RPMS/6x/x86_64/python-imgcreate-13.4.6...
rpm -ihv
http://www.livecd.ethz.ch/download/RPMS/6x/x86_64/livecd-tools-13.4.6-15....
Not yet, but I will probably this week end.
Any reason why 13.4.6 is not loaded in EPEL's repo?
Cheers,
Urs

Hi Urs,
Just tried these new RPMs. No Joy. Feedback:
1) disks had no label ("LIVE")
2) disk had a 4 GB virtual file
3) Persistence did not work. :'(
4) My motherboard would not boot it (probably the BIOS)
