This step failed once for me with an udisks error stating something like "daemon is inhibited". I'm pretty sure it was because I had set a sudo password in tails-greeter, and if so all we need is an appropriate sudoers.d file for tails-persistence-setup. > 4.

Oh, I enjoyed it! :) I have a few comments: * We're currently quite wasteful when allocating space to the Tails partition. On a 1.88 GiB USB stick a whooping 1.46 GiB was allocated for Tails, leaving only 424 MiB for TailsData. The Tails installation I used was just 767 MiB, leaving 732 MiB unused. That seems a bit excessive or do we anticipate wheezy to be that much of a monster? I'm not sure what the right approach would be here. It would be sweet to have a slider which goes from $TAILS_ISO_SIZE to min($SIZE_OF_USB_DRIVE, $LARGEST_TAILS_ISO_SIZE_WE_WANT_TO_SUPPORT) which determines the size of the Tails partition. Depending on where the slider is some label would show warnings like: - "This is likely too little space for being able to upgrade Tails in the future" and - "This will just leave only $LOW_NUMBER MB of space for persistence" when appropriate. * I think we should activate the --log-file option for both the list and activate calls of live-persist. This will make it a lot easier to debug certain errors when we're testing this, and if support to include them is added to whisperback, also good when it's released into the wild. Cheers!
