I installed Xubuntu when running a persistent live Ubuntu system 1. With the options 'toram' 'nopersistent'
It was truly live-only (and the installation worked). 2. With the default settings (no extra boot option compared what comes with the iso file) The casper-rw partition received and stored an install log (and the installation worked). --- tester@tester-SATELLITE-PRO-C850-19W:~$ sudo lsblk -f NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINT sda ├─sda1 vfat 9B34-A9E8 ├─sda2 ext4 aee3c5e5-e695-49e9-9598-ac8671f30181 ├─sda3 ext4 cf57ee56-dba4-4494-9475-07af55933ac3 16,2G 25% / └─sda4 ext4 e1ce9f48-8214-4cae-ba35-c4a62f7f6d78 sdb ├─sdb1 ntfs usbdata 0B539A8875BBB7D6 ├─sdb2 ├─sdb3 vfat usbboot 112D-C9F8 ├─sdb4 iso9660 Xubuntu 20.04 LTS amd64 2019-11-10-02-05-43-00 └─sdb5 ext4 casper-rw 28567df4-354c-4061-ae21-431c30d01939 sr0 tester@tester-SATELLITE-PRO-C850-19W:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /mnt tester@tester-SATELLITE-PRO-C850-19W:~$ sudo du -hs /mnt/* 1,4M /mnt/install-logs-2019-11-10.0 16K /mnt/lost+found 43M /mnt/upper 8,0K /mnt/work tester@tester-SATELLITE-PRO-C850-19W:~$ --- I realize that this is a useful feature and not a bug. But as stated earlier, this is new territory, and I think some of us, who use live and persistent live drives may have problems to use drives with this new feature. So it would still be valuable to get a modification such that 'toram' alone will turn off saving log files to the casper-rw partition and make it possible to unmount it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1851123 Title: Ubuntu 19.10 and focal live cloned create and mount casper-rw partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1851123/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
