intrigeri, Just an update to share that I:
- created a new Tails flash drive with persistence - converted the new persistence to btrfs - booted my usual Tails flash drive and backed up it's persistent volume to the newly created Tails drive - installed btrfs-progs on the new Tails drive At this point, everything about this btrfs persistence volume appears to work normally. I can create subvolumes there and snapshot them. Tails appears happy and, from a user's perspective, nothing appears to have changed. Instead of creating a folder named "Persistent", a production-ready Tails with btrfs could create a subvolume named "Persistent". Snapshots of this subvolume would then capture the state of the user's data at modest cost to storage space. Backing up the user's data would involve a Tails backup drive and one btrfs send / receive operation*. I intend to put some miles on this new Tails btrfs flash drive. regards, alienpup * Using snapshots, a single Tails "backup" drive could accommodate as many backups as space permits. _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
