Hi all, Persistent boot option works and with grml2usb I have not needed to change the other related partitions. You may need to remove the "=nofile" as that was removed in upstream. Note; Some of docs you find on web are proposals and may not be in upstream or grml-autoconfig (http://live.debian.net/devel/rfc/persistence/).
persistent-encryption=luks works in daily snapshot I am testing. This can keep live-rw and home-rw more private and secure. Think lost USB. I do not expect GRMLCFG to support luks. Be aware live-rw and home-rw at this testing do not do compression. The docs indicate live-sn and home-sn will but I have not gotten to testing that feature. The information at http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=persistency is good. --- On Mon, 2/27/12, Stefan Weiss <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Stefan Weiss <[email protected]> > Subject: [Grml] Updating USB stick with persistency option? > To: [email protected] > Date: Monday, February 27, 2012, 6:24 AM > Hello. > > I'm trying out to the persistency feature for the first > time.
