Hi folks,
on a Fedora 40 XFCE I'm running livecd-iso-to-disk to create a bootable
stick with persistent home and persistent overlay. In the direcotry
where I downloaded Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-40-1.14.iso I run the
following command:
sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --efi --format --reset-mbr --nomac
--unencrypted-home --home-size-mb 8192 --overlay-size-mb 16384
Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-40-1.14.iso /dev/sdc
I can boot another machine from that stick as expected. It feels as if
home dir ist persistent, for example I configured keyboard layout and
wifi password, and when I reboot from the USB stick those settings
remain. From my understanding they are stored in the home directory.
Furthermore I did
date >> ~/persistent.txt
which also remains after reboot. But it feels as if the 'data
persistence' doesn't work. I ran an dnf update and got errors:
sudo dnf -y update

I expect /dev/mapper/live-rw to be bigger than 5.8G, I expect it to be
16GB as specified with --overlay-size-mb 16384 parameter. What am I
doing wrong when creating the bootable USB stick? Which options Do I
have to set, that it becomes a stick with 'data persistence' as
explained in
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-and-using-a-live-installation-image/index.html#command-line-method
"/'data persistence' support - so changes you make to the entire
live environment will persist across boots/"
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Meikel
