Re: USB writing changes: wiki instructions, tests

Question 1:
Final release criterion:
"The release-blocking live images must properly support mounting and
using a persistent storage overlay for the entire system and/or one
for the /home partition."

Does this requirement apply only to the image itself (i.e. mainly
dracut scripts doing the environment setup for this to work)?

There's an additional qualifer underneath: "does not cover the writing
of the persistent overlay". Does "writing" mean "creation" of the
overlay?

Question 2:

Beta release criterion:
"Release-blocking live and dedicated installer images must boot when
written to optical media of an appropriate size (if applicable) and
when written to a USB stick with any of the officially supported
methods. "

points to your rewritten wiki page, but no where on that page does it
say what is officially supported. Only Fedora Media Writer is
considered recommended, the rest are considered "maybe useful". But if
everything listed on the page is officially supported, that means:

dd
l-i-t-d
Fedora Media Writer
GNOME Disk Utility
Unetbootin

are all supported. Really?

I'd say Fedora Media Writer should be the only one that's officially
supported/recommended. By extension this would include dd, but it
doesn't need to be explicitly stated. There are so many issues with
the live overlay stuff that I think it needs a total rethink: maybe
overlayfs, maybe btrfs seed device.

In any case, I think this landing page should only contain the
officially recommended methods, and then link to "maybe useful
alternatives" on their own page.
