Check dmsetup status and dmsetup table See that the live-rw snapshot has been set up on a loop device backed by the overlay file and not a temporary overlay, which would be the fallback if no overlay was found or it was unreadable.

Hi Fred, It will be a few days before I get enough office time to try this out. I do believe you are using a later version than me as "--unencrypted-home" is not supported. If it helps with the troubleshooting process, persistence does work with the "Fedora LiveUSB Creator" GUI. But, I can only get 4 GB of it. Thank you for the help! -T -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd
