I'm getting a strange error with the latest livecds. They are custom
made but the changes I made to the kickstart files concern my own
scripts and extra packages I want to have in the livecd. This started
to occur in the lastest 3-4 weeks. I cannot say when exactly it
started to apper. I filed a kernel-bug here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=823205 but maybe this is a
devicemapper problem. I know that there were some changes to the
livecd-tools and lorax packges so maybe something there introduced
this bug. Can someone take a look at it? More information can be found
in my bug report.

It is generally not a good idea to try to install extra packages when
running the livecd. The relationship between the device-mapper and the
size of the packages isn't 1:1 so you are likely to run out of space.

Yes, but with 16GB RAM it shouldn't be that easy to hit the limit. My
root partition has 10GB size and usually I have about 6,5GB free. So
installung some packages shouldn't be a problem. As I already wrote
this behaviour started to appear about 3-4 ago. What I saw at almost
the same time was that my iso images schrank with about 25-30MB in
size. This isn't just a coincidence...

The root filesystem of Fedora live CD images are compressed into a SquashFS
image and a permanent or temporary virtual filesystem overlay is provided
by device-mapper for write-once storage space.
