[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work
On Hardy I cannot achieve persistence, I follow the tutorial on wiki
(LiveUSBPenDrivePersistent) and the Ubuntu starts but finish on a
initramfs and as I a novice I have to reboot. AFAIK and reading this
looong conversation looks like as someone else downgrade something and
the persistent on USB thumb or HD fails in the final release after this
guys fixed the persistent problem.
The problem is still there, because on www.pendrivelinux.com for ubuntu
gutsy only convert the USB on Live Ubuntu but without persistence, and
in some other forums and articles everybody ask about persistence
unsuccessfully or we need to edit some files as a
href=http://www.ryancloke.com/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-live-usb-how-to/;
this link shows /a (for me it doesn´t work neither) and on somewhere
else the line mentioned in the link strongmount ${cowdevice} -t
${cow_fstype} -o rw,noatime /cow || panic Can not mount $cowdevice on
/cow/strong is treated differently, because the solution from ryan is
remove mode=775 and the solution from that site was defining another
variable $cow_cowopt=rw,noatime,mode=775 (or 755 I don´t remember) and
after the if before that line I have put the persistence before the else
(I'm searching again the web page if I found it I put the link) and in
the line mentioned by Ryan I have to replace after the -o option for the
new variable. In that page explain that the problem isn´t the mode
instead something isn't there that avoid that persistence option were
taked in account. Of course I did al that but again the initramfs, so no
one knows a real solution, or I do doesn't something.
Forgive me if I have some mistakes I'm not english native speaker.

waxhell: If I'm using persistent mode (home or root type) with the iso contents as well as the persistent fs on a USB key, I get block devices errors on the USB key on shutdown, the persistent fs isn't unmounted cleanly, and sometimes some files seem to get corrupted, particularly files that are likely to be open continuously during the session (e.g. ICEauthority) or immediately prior to shutdown (settings files.) Booting from a CDROM (and still using the USB key for the persistent fs) seems to work OK (at least for home mode - root mode doesn't wait long enough for the USB key to settle before deciding there's no persistent fs to union mount.)

Clarification on the above. Looks like I was able to get a bit further after reformatting my casper- rw partition. Getting some odd KDE errors where its having problems reading/writing from certain files. Originally it was /home/ubuntu/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals Now it seems to be /home/ubuntu/.ICEauthority It seems that for some odd reason, persistent mode is creating files with a chmod of 000.

[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work
Vincent, When booted into the system from which you are issuing the syslinux command to create your persistent drive, make sure you are using the gutsy versions of syslinux and mtools (mtools may not have changed from edgy and feisty). That fixed the problem for me completely. If that system isn't gutsy, and you don't want to upgrade the entire system to gutsy, you can still upgrade only those two packages by changing your sources.list temporarily to gutsy, and then issuing sudo apt-get update, and then sudo aptitude install syslinux, for example. So, all I did was boot up on a drive other than the one I wanted to make persistent. I took a usb drive on which I had been using the patched feisty system (so prepared exactly in accordance with your tutorial). I then deleted everything from the partition containing the cd-rom files except for syslinux.cfg (i.e. I am using exactly the same syslinux file as for the patched feisty system). I then copied all of the gutsy beta files onto that partition, except for the isoconfig (or whatever the syslinux.cfg file was called before we renamed it to syslinux.cfg). I also deleted everything off of the casper-rw partition other than the lost and found directory (and my home directory). I then issued the syslinux command (again with the gutsy version of syslinux installed), and I am good to go. Note, if this works for you, I did experience a large number of freeze ups with firefox, which I believe is a reported firefox issue. I currently have the fasterfox add-on installed because some people said that fixed the problem for them. So far I haven't re-experienced the firefox freezes, but I need more time to assess whether or not that really fixed the issue. I also downgraded to the edgy versions of the 3 upstart files as I described above. That fixes a failure to unmount local filesystems that I have been experiencing since the feisty upstart upgrades. You will probably run fine if you don't do that downgrade, but if you receive the failure to unmount local filesystems error on shutdown, you probably will need to do that downgrade to avoid causing errors on your persistent drive. -- feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for that link Angelo. I have a feeling it's getting closer to being fixed, if nothing else! I've been following the instructions at that page, and also the related page which has the downloadable initrd.gz file. The furthest I've got so far is to get the boot-up selection screen, where I select the 'persistent' option. It tries to continue booting, but then I get dumped out to a 'BusyBox' command prompt. Anyone know how to progress past this point? - Is there anything I can do at the BusyBox command prompt apart from tell it to reboot? Are they any log files I can see to check how far it got?

[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work
I reverted to the feisty version of network-manager (0.6.4-6ubuntu7) and to the feisty version of network-manager-gnome (0.6.4-6ubuntu7), and the network manager now seems to be remembering my WPA key on a persistent liveUSB drive. So, at least on my system, I'd say persistence seems to be working fine. I don't know if the umount issue is related to the persistence issue, but that umount issue has been given medium priority. So, hopefully that will be fixed by the time Gutsy is released. Even if it is not, reverting to the edgy versions of the upstart files seems to fix that issue. So, it may be that you can get a version of Gutsy working with persistence by simply removing the gutsy version of these two network manager files and installing the feisty versions (while you are booted in persistent mode on a liveUSB) and also reverting in the same way on the upstart files. -- feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work
Persistent mode actually does work for me in Tribe 5. There are two issues that I experience, though: gnome-network manager does not seem to maintain the WPA password that I enter for my access point; and I get a umount failure on shutdown. But, booting in persistent mode saves my installed programs; it saves my changes in firefox; and it saves my configurations in nautilus. So, it seems possible that persistence is actually fixed and there are some different issues causing these other problems. Don't know. Looks like someone is working on the umount failure - looks like they confirmed there is an issue (see bug report 125702). As far as the gnome-network manager not maintaining the password, I wonder if that is a persistence issue or a different issue given that other persistence functionality works (at least it did for me the most recent few times I tried it). While I don't understand all the details of the functionality of persistence, it seems it would be odd for persistence to work partially (e.g. maintain installed programs, but not network manager settings). As far as the gnome-network manager issue I experience, see bugs 131233 and 132473, for example. Bug 131233 sounds a lot like what I experience when using gutsy persistence. I also think some people reported this same network manager issue in the patched feisty iso that was prepared where persistence otherwise worked. Jerry, did you try installing a program to see if it is still installed upon reboot? Or configuring firefox or nautilus? Just curious if persistence might be working for some people and not others. I have actually been wondering if this bug has actually been fixed, but if you are still having issues . . . .

Persistence definitely appears to be working in the latest tribe2 daily build (7/12), except that I have to re-enter my WPA key every time I reboot in order to log back in to my wireless network using the gnome network manager. But, the system maintains changes I make to my nautilus and firefox configurations, for example, and has maintained newly installed applications. Not sure why the system would maintain these other types of changes but not the WPA key that I entered using the gnome network manager. Maybe that is a separate issue (e.g. with the gnome network manager?).

The build does still seem to experience a failure in un-mounting local file systems when shutting down from a persistent mode booted system. That failure seems to produce errors in the casper-rw partition. But, if you revert to the edgy versions of the upstart files, as I indicated above, that error goes away. I.e. I can make that error go away by pinning the following files in a preferences file that is placed in /etc/apt: Package: upstart Pin: version 0.2.7-7 Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: upstart-compat-sysv Pin: version 0.2.7-7 Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: upstart-logd Pin: version 0.2.7-7 Pin-Priority: 1001 I reported that as a separate bug because I don't really know whether or not it is related to this persistence issue. -- feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As best as I can tell, it looks like persistence may actually be working on gutsy tribe2. I get a .ICEauthority issue, however, that prevents me from re-booting into persistent mode. But, I think that that issue may show up because persistence may be working and there may be some sort of issue related to the .ICEauthority file that is created in the home directory on the casper-rw partition. I confirmed that e.g. my network settings appear to show up on the casper-rw partition. So, it appears files may be getting created on the casper-rw partition, which I assume would not happen if persistence wasn't working. It looks like a number of changes were made to the files that we held back in the custom iso's that we created. So, maybe those changes somehow fixed the persistence problem?

Feisty seems to contain a lot of blueprints about making udev play nicely with certain disk arrangements (i.e. LVM, EVMS). I'm wondering whether if and how casper was modified when scripts for e.g. udev were modified to run on the upstart (replacement init) model. (According to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/replacement- initscripts and various other blueprints for Feisty (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+specs), upstart replaced sysvinit in edgy, and many bootscripts were rewritten for upstart in feisty.) I say this because I see no mention of casper on any of the blueprints I can find regarding upstart... (I also think that building the right version of UnionFS for the kernel is probably important.

Do the kernel maintainers know that they have to update the patch with every new kernel release? I assume yes, but I'm still attempting to patch UFS 2.0 into the Feisty LIveCD/USB kernel because Feisty contains bits and pieces of UnionFS 1.3, which is incorrect for the 2.6.20 kernel. I don't know if these bits are active or simply vestigial. This is, allegedly, the correct UnionFS patch for a 2.6.20 kernel: ftp://ftp.filesystems.org/pub/unionfs/unionfs-2.x/linux-2.6.20-u1.diff.gz I downloaded linux-source-2.6.20_2.6.20.orig and linux- source-2.6.20_2.6.20. (Forgive my Ubuntu newbishness--does anyone have a link to a wiki explaining the Ubuntu kernel/patch file naming conventions--I find all the seemingly redundant kernel source file packages that pop up in a Synaptic search to be very confusing.) Ideally, I'd like to find the patches to take the Ubuntu kernel all the way back to a vanilla kernel (Ubuntu + Debian diffs?) I have not yet applied the -16.28.diff patch but decided to work, initially, with the original Ubuntu 2.6.20 source. I removed the config UNION_FS section from the bottom of /usr/src/linux/ubuntu/Kconfig and applied the UnionFS patch from above. It reported that some of the UnionFS patches were already applied to the Ubuntu kernel source and I answered N to not reapply those sections. I built the .deb packages and successfully installed and booted the new kernel with UnionFS 2.0 on my development machine. I have not yet had time to install the new kernel on the Feisty LiveCD/USB system and I have no idea if UnionFS 2,0 is even working. I may soon find that the UnionFS scripts in the Feisty LiveCD (scripted for UnionFS 1.3?) don't even work with UnionFS 2.0, regardless. -Cal -- feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work
Some interesting new information (at least interesting to me). Ignoring the unionfs issue for the moment, I played around with the pinned files. I found out that persistence works if I only pin the following 4 files: Package: udev Pin: version 093-0ubuntu18.0edgy2 Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: upstart Pin: version 0.2.7-7 Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: upstart-compat-sysv Pin: version 0.2.7-7 Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: upstart-logd Pin: version 0.2.7-7 Pin-Priority: 1001 The other thing that I did was upgrade to the 1.91 version of casper from gutsy because I suspected that the other debian changes had been rolled into the gutsy version of casper. Sure enough, persistence works fine. It seemed that gutsy's casper file was fine as it has been revised. The other thing that I had done, before upgrading to the gutsy version of casper, was to unpin the three upstart files. Again, with this last change, persistence still worked, but I received a failure to umount local filesystems. So, persistence worked with the only pinned file was udev. I have suspected this from the beginning, but this really re-enforces my belief that there has to be some issue in udev that is causing this problem. Alternatively, it could be an interaction between udev and the upstart files. But, based upon these results, it seems there has to be a problem in one of these. I am going to play around a little more to see if I can generate any additional useful information. __ -- feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work
I've been playing with the Xubuntu 7.04 CD and a 4GB flash stick. I suspect this bug is a 7.04 kernel/module problem. Quite simply, persistence is borked because unionfs isn't loading. (Just type mount and you'll see unionfs on / type (rw) is missing and you can confirm it with lsmod | grep unionfs too.) As a hack, I copied vmlinuz and initrd.gz from a 6.10 CD to /usb and /usb/casper (I guess it must be copied to both places because links don't work in vfat) and persistence worked. Unfortunately, other stuff seems to break with the 6.10 kernel --the LAN is dead on at least one of my live USB hosts and the PS2 mouse is dead on another host. USB keyboard and mouse seem to work. At one point, I couldn't mount the ext3 filesystem on my hard disk, but that problem seems to be mysteriously absent now. Next I attempted to build unionfs into the kernel, rather than a module, but the build ended with an extended attribute (xattr) conflict with other filesystem modules. At this point, I really don't know how to build a kernel for a live CD anyway. If anyone can point me in the direction of a howto, we may be able to solve this. -Cal -- feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Looks like I've been a bit too optimistic. I found a Herd 3 image and applied the same procedure as described by Cal. The good news is that persistence works, and that the logs written onto casper-rw indicate that most of the hardware is correctly recognized and initialized. The bad new is that I've also seen some ugly error messages passing by, and that I don't get any login prompts in the virtual terminals. Which is really bad because X fails to start as well (that happens with all Ubuntu live CDs on my laptop). Sure, I could make a customized xorg.conf file on the casper-rw filesystem and see what happens, but as copying the vmlinuz and initrd.gz files is just a dirty hack, it may not merit further effort. Besides, I'm too tired to continue. Moreover, I discovered that my casper-rw partition is too small to make persistence really useful (gconf immediately fills it).

One other interesting point. I didn't make this clear in my earlier posts, but it looks like you may need to use the new manifests and squashed filesystem with the files from the herd3 iso (rather than with the files from Feisty final iso) to get it to work. I tried using the exact same manifests and squashed filesystem with the files from the Feisty final iso and persistence didn't work. But, when I copied the exact same files into the files from the herd3 iso, it worked. Not sure why that would be the case, and I haven't had a chance to double check to make sure I didn't do something else wrong. But, just an fyi for anyone trying this.

Great news! Mike, maybe we could get this hybrid Herd3/5 LiveCD circulating as a torrent? I've never done that before, but it's not rocket science. We just need you to seed it (recent versions of Azureus have a built-in tracker) and send us the torrent. I'll gladly keep it seeding from my Linux box. For security reasons, it will be important to clearly identify your disk image as an unofficial Ubuntu release that is your own creation and include an MD5 sum in the description. This way users will not confuse your disk image with official Ubuntu releases and can 'trust' the contents of the image as your own by verifying the MD5 sum. I think that's the best way for you to share your effort with the community.

[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work
That sounds good, Fisselfink. I actually may not be able to get this going until some time next week. My wife has been giving me some dirty looks for the time I have spent. But, there are a couple things I still want to check out. I suppose it probably makes sense to make all of the files available in the form of an iso, just like a ubuntu distribution (unless someone has other thoughts), and probably makes sense to make it available without my other customizations (e.g. not add ntfs-3g, bootchart, etc.). That way, it is a base image, similar to the ubuntu distrib. Also, I am experiencing a problem installing the Java JRE and plugin. It does not look like it is a problem unique to this hybrid. But rather, appears to be a problem that others have experienced (e.g. I think it is failing to configure Java, saying it cannot locate libjli.so and libjava.so - or something to that effect - I don't have the error messages in front of me now). Although I believe Java is not in the base distribution, it would be nice if I could resolve that before making this available. But I don't think I am going to have time to figure it out. I expect it is probably an issue that can be fixed by making changes in persistent mode, but again I haven't worked it out. I guess, people should assume there may be issues and test it out and provide feedback. It may need more fine tuning. I am also am wondering whether it would make more sense to start with Edgy and upgrade from that (so that the Edgy version of the relevant files are pinned, rather than the Herd3 versions). Again, I may not have a chance to figure that out soon. If anyone wants a copy of this earlier than next week, I don't mind making it available in exactly the form I have it now, as long as everyone recognizes that it may still be a little rough. -- feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work
I've come up with a temporary solution that meets at least my needs (until someone actually fixes the packages). I have generated a Feisty LiveUSB disk that for the most part includes the packages from the final version of Feisty, but I have specified that certain packages are to remain at the Herd3 level, allowing persistence to still work. Basically, I used a Preferences file (I have attached the one that I used) in the manner I describe below. This Preferences file prevents the files that it lists from upgrading when I upgraded the Herd3 files to the final version of Feisty. I used this Preferences file to generate a new version of the following files on my Live disk: /casper/filesystem.squashfs /casper/filesystem.manifest /casper/filesystem.manifest-desktop /md5sum.txt I generated these new files, again, following essentially the approach at this link: http://www.atworkonline.it/~bibe/ubuntu/custom-livecd.htm My comments below refer to the procedure outlined at that link. I generated the ubuntu-fs.ext2 file, containing the ext2 filesystem, as described. I actually used a 4GB file instead of the 2GB file shown at the link because I ran out of space, when upgrading, using the 2GB file. (I believe that the larger file does not ultimately cause you to consume additional space on your usb disk because of the effect of creating and deleting the zeroed dummyfile). I mounted this ext2 filesystem and copied the unsquashed filesystem from the Herd3 iso into that directory (i.e. unsquash into this directory the contents of the /casper/filesystem.squashfs file from the Herd3 iso). Either prior to or after chrooting into this file system, I copied the attached Preferences file into the /etc/apt directory of the unsquashed filesystem. Again, this will pin the listed files at the Herd3 versions listed in the attached Preferences file. See the Apt How-To for a more detailed description of pinning. (I haven't tried to upgrade from Edgy. But if you are doing that, then I suspect you at least need to change the file names and versions in the attached Preferences file to the corresponding Edgy files). In my /etc/apt directory, I also updated the sources.list file to be sure it had the repositories I wanted. There is a Wiki guide (I believe it is called a Feisty Startup Guide) that lists available repositories. I mounted and chroot'ed into this filesystem, exactly as shown at the link above. I executed apt-get update to update the list of files available at the repositories. I then used aptitude to run both the upgrade and dist- upgrade commands in that order. aptitude upgrade aptitude dist-upgrade. I ran these commands again (I might have used apt-get, instead of aptitude, the subsequent time(s), although it shouldn't matter) until I got feedback that there were no additional files to be upgraded or added. Note, I did get feedback that the libdevmapper1.02 package was broken (this is one of the pinned packages). But, I ignored that because I selected that as one of the files to not be upgraded. The result still worked for me. I don't know if others will experience the following issue, but I also had to work through an issue of not being able to upgrade certain packages associated with acpid. There are links related to that issue. But, I worked out all apparent issues before re- squashing the filesystem. After finishing the updates and upgrades, I made some additional changes (e.g. added ntfs-3g and bootchart) that I expect do not affect the persistence issue; exited out of the chrooted environment, generated the new filesystem.manifest file (I used this exact same file as the updated filesystem.manifest-desktop file); resquashed the filesystem; generated the new md5sum.txt file; copied the resulting files to my usb drive per the instructions for generating a live usb, and rebooted. The boot was pretty slow (I may need to try some of the approaches for speeding up boot time), but it does boot fine and the basic persistence works fine. While I haven't tested the result extensively, visually it looks (and at least initially seems to operate) like the final version of Feisty. I am attaching a copy of the filesystem.manifest in case anyone wants to see the differences between the packages I used and those used in the final version of Feisty. I can also upload the re- squashed filesystem(assuming that that is not inappropriate for some reason), but I haven't done that because I expect people may want to generate their own version of the custom squashed filesystem. It seems possible that my result could be duplicated with less effort. E.g. start with a LiveUSB drive that uses the Herd3 version of Feisty, and simply copy the attached Preferences file into the /etc/apt directory of the booted LiveUSB, and then upgrade that booted LiveUSB in the same manner as you normally would. But I expect that that approach will take a lot more room on your casper-rw partition because the upgraded files will

[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work
Well, I took my revised livecd in which I had reverted the casper and ubiquity packages to the version used by feisty herd3 and I tried to additionally revert udev to the herd3 version of udev. This did break the distribution (it hangs on boot when executing the local scripts), but there was one potentially important difference in my boot messages. My casper-rw filesystem is an ext2 filesystem. When I boot up and persistence works, I always get the message EXT2-FS Warning: Mounting unchecked filesystem. Running E2FSK is recommended (or something to that effect). When persistence does not work, that message is conspicuously absent in my boot messages. When it shows up, it comes right after the message SquashFS: version . . . . In my customized livecd that uses the herd3 version of udev, this message showed up again. This seems to suggest that reverting to the herd3 version of udev may fix the timing issue because this message suggests that the casper-rw filesystem is mounting with the old udev. Note, in order to use the old udev, I did also have to revert on a few other packages, so it could be in udev or one of the related packages that I reverted (these other files were either listed with the udev binaries on launchpad or were the files dpkg forced me to revert when I tried to install the old udev - dmsetup was one of them; I think there were two that had volumeid in the name). -- feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work
Jerry, I've been wanting to try reverting to some of the Herd3 packages myself, but hadn't had a chance to try it until last night. It seems that that approach may or may not break something, depending upon what is done. Last night, I used diff -y --suppress-common-lines [Herd3 filesystem.manifest location] [Feisty Final filesystem.manifest location] to generate a list of the packages that are different between Herd3 and Feisty Final (the bracketed phrases above were replaced with the location on my pc of the filesystem manifest for each version). Someone correct me if I am wrong, but that diff list should be a package level description of all of the changes between Herd3 and Feisty Final. At that point, it is a matter of identifying packages that may affect the issue. For example, I had been planning to try reverting to Herd3 packages for at least the casper and ubiquity-casper packages. I honestly didn't expect this to fix the problem, but thought it was a starting point and may be the least likely to break something else. I tried that reversion last night and it did not fix the problem. In particular, I reverted to casper 1.80 and ubiquity-casper 1.80, which were used in Herd3. To generate the customized livecd with the reverted packages, I followed the approach described at the following link, but there may be other ways to do it. http://www.atworkonline.it/~bibe/ubuntu/custom-livecd.htm You can get the old packages from here (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/) and I believe it is also possible to use the herd3 distribution itself to get the old packages. Launchpad does give some information about what the packages do and what files they contain. You can probably find a list of what is in at least some of these packages here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ (that link may only give packages used in final releases, but at least some of the herd3 packages were used in edgy). After reverting to casper 1.80 and ubiquity casper 1.80, everything still booted fine (no obvious broken functionality, although something could be broken without being apparent), but the persistence issue remained in exactly the manner described above. I actually suspect that the problem may be in some of the more fundamental scripts in other packages. In particular, I have listed below some of the other packages that I eventually may try. If anyone disagrees or has other suggestions, feel free to chime in. Also, if anyone else wants to try any of this, it could be a dead end or it could give useful information. If any of the developers have suggestions about what they think we should try, or things that they know will break the distribution, or even if they think this approach will not be fruitful, certainly do not hesitate to say so. This is a fairly trial and error approach, and I would not be surprised if the developers already know enough to take a more focused and well informed approach. But, again, I am new to linux. The initramfs-tools and initscripts packages seemed like possibilities. The initscripts actually appears to be part of a more fundamental distribution, sysvinit described here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu16. That is the link to the version of sysvinit that was in Edgy (and also in Herd3 of Feisty). It would be interesting to see what happens upon reverting to the herd3 version of that package (we might want to try that reversion together with the casper reversion I described above because we know that those sysvinit packages worked with the older casper versions). I don't know if it would be more or less likely to break something if the reversion was of all of the binary packages that are part of the sysvinit distribution. Either way, this reversion will revert packages that are much more fundamental than casper. So, this reversion may generally be more likely to break something. E.g. it is possible that files upon which these packages depend would need to revert also, and that may break other things, and also there may be other packages that require the updated initramfs-tools and initscripts (in fact, that may be likely, but I haven't looked into it). At some point, this reversion could be a lot of work, but I was thinking that it would make sense to at least start with the packages in the sysvinit distribution and see if reverting some or all of those packages breaks something or helps in any way. There is a package called startup-tasks that changed. I haven't looked at that at all, so don't know if it is relevant. I actually saw some discussion in the unionfs mailing list that suggested that there may even be a problem with udev. I haven't had a chance to investigate this in any level of detail, and that discussion was in the context of a completely different issue. But it might be interesting to know the effect of reverting to the herd3 version of udev because that file did change between herd3 and feisty final. -- feisty 20070210/herd5

Anyone have any idea how to/feasibility of using early Beta boot scripts with release code? Apparently telease code boot tries to speed up by doing more things in parallel, hence fails starting persistent mode because the USB code hasn't recognized the device yet and the volume isn't mounted yet. The persistent mode process needs to wait until all devices are active and all volumes mounted.
