I was wondering... Does anyone have a good solution for keeping changes to a Debian Live system persistent? I see that Casper offers a few options, the most tempting being a casper-rw partition on the USB stick that I use to boot Debian. The only problem is that it is flash storage and may not deal well with being written to all the time. I tried to create a jffs2 partition and add that to the unionfs manually (unionctl / --add /mnt/root/cow && unionctl / --mode /cow ro); the problem here is that a reasonably big jffs2 file system is rather slow - too slow to be really useful. Eventually, I will probably try to procure an HD based USB drive, but in the meantime, I am a bit puzzled. Has anybody found a good way to work around this while keeping the whole system portable?
Thanks, ~Juergen
