I can reproduce this with appvms based on debian 8, but not fedora 23.

    * create new appvm
    * open a terminal, 'touch foo'
    * shutdown vm
    * restart vm, file is gone

fedora 23 based appvms persist, but the debian 8 based appvms did not,
at least in this test. I have not checked all my vms yet.
