No tutorial, but if you use the liveusb-creator to transfer the

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the reply. I choose to stop using so-called "persistent storage" because it eventually goes FUBAR. Something about the loop device if I remember correctly. The issue being that all is well until you fill up all available storage space. Then the "persistent storage" partition becomes "damaged" and unmountable. I lost quite a few folders full of work that way, that's when I decided that was useless.
In fact if you google "loopback device persistent storage" and have autocomplete enabled, the next word that comes up after you type a space is "corrupted".

Maybe it'd be time for the so-called "persistent storage" to be F2FS based rather than loopback?
Now *there's* an idea!
