Thank you very much. I'm glad that it works for you now. > I do feel that the live documentation needs work regarding this feature.

So the real bug, so to speak, is in live-manual rather than in live-boot :) >I do > not know if this also affects standard partitions as well but if so in the > live manual where it says "A volume with the label persistence can be > configured to make arbitrary directories persistent." should read "A volume > with the label persistence must be configured with live-persistence.conf > file to use the persistence feature." git blames me here. I was aware that the sentence "And in order to fully customize the volume's persistence there must be a file named live-persistence.conf. " didn't sound quite brilliant, but to be honest I blindly trusted the power of the verb *must* that I used when I modified the paragraph (adding that). Important: I'm *not* the original author of that section in live-manual. I'm not that clever. The writer of the code did write most of it. He's the clever one, and obviously the one who perfectly knows how it works. I simply made certain necessary modifications after the code itself was modified too. That is why git blame points at me :) I take note of your suggestion and add it to my todo. Or perhaps someone else can rephrase it in a better way than I can. > and a link to the > live-persistence.conf man page should be available as well as I only managed > to find that by man within the chrooted sid environment.
