Thanks, here it goes, about live-initramfs. Currently, live-initramfs supports persistent home. I hope that we can extend the concept one step further -- persistent storage. Some people like to save everything in their personal home folder. That's something you have to do when you are confined to do so, in where you work for example. But for my own box, I'd rather put things more logically. Big and heavy files like downloaded debian or other packages or movies, photos downloaded off my camera or from other people, just an idea, will be stored elsewhere. This not only put more logic in folder arrangement, but ease my backup task as well -- so I don't need to scratch my head thinking why my home take up so much space every time I want to just backup just my own stuff. :-) I.e., we need a logical place one level higher than home. For example, I call it export, and here is how I arrange it. From '/' root: /export -- mounted fs or persistent storage home -> /export/home/ and under export folder I have: home packages/debian packages/other multimedia/movies multimedia/photos multimedia/photos/mine multimedia/photos/others just an example illustrating the logical arrangement I need for the examples I gave above. Ok, in conclusion, although the post is long, but we need to do only a tiny bit of change to the current live-initramfs -- adding a persistent storage parallel to persistent home, using the same mechanism. and people can choose either or both at their own will. thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
