Do you know of a way to overcome the 4GB persistent
storage restriction?  ("overlay-live-xxxxx" I presume.)

I am trying to do this:

livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 7194 /home/kvm/Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1.iso /dev/sdc1

But get told overlay can only be 2048 max.

That might be because the overlay file is normally going to be on an FAT file system. Though I think I saw a bug somewhere that said the limit really should be less that 4GiB.

How large is your device? You might consider doing a normal install to it if you are going to be doing updates and keeping it for a long time without refreshing. Note that you can't normally update the kernel in a live image. So for long term use a normal install is better, assuming you have the room.
