Until now I' ve been using Linux Live USB creator (on windows) to create pen drives out of Fedora livecd images http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ ...mainly because I like its startup menu which allows to select between normal LiveCD boot and ' persistant mode' which allows one to save files to the pen drive' s ' desktop' folder and changes (ie firefox addons) are preserved between reboots. It accomplishes this by setting a rw drive based on a so-called 'casper file' http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/help/faq/persistence/67-what-is-persistence but for ' technical reasons' -according to the devs- a 'casper file' cannot be bigger than 4GB. With 32GB pen drives now within the affordability realm (64gb a little less so), you'd understand it's a bit silly to limit the 'persistant mode' to 4GB of space. So, with developments like Samsung's F2FS file system... Samsung creates Flash-friendly open source file system F2FS http://www.techspot.com/news/50428-samsung-creates-flash-friendly-open-source-file-system-f2fs.html ... and with apparently the last few f2fs improvements having made it to the 3.9 kernel http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTMxMTU So, any chance of getting rid of 'casper' and trade it for a fully RW F2FS partition on the pen drive (as big as the pen drive allows) ? I wonder if Fedora rawhide already includes F2FS support?. Ideally, I'd just want ANY functional Linux & XFCE distro I can burn on a big pen drive with full RW support using F2FS... (could be a LiveCD with 'persistant partition' done with F2FS). Thoughts?
