I have created another a Debian live system on a USB stick with the help of
the make-live from live-helper_1.0~a9-1 and I tested it again. It seems that
after a 2nd reboot from the USB stick with the 'persistent'
option /live_media wont't be correctly mounted anymore.
Here is what I did:
1) Booting up with 'live persistent quickreboot' works as
expected, /live_media is mounted from /dev/sda1 as rw.
I then created some files in the home directory (/home/usblive in my case), so
as to verify that it would become really persistent after a later reboot.
2) Then I did a snapshot and saved it on the USB stick's partition:
sudo casper-snapshot --type=squashfs
sudo cp /mnt/casper-snapshot/* /live_media
umount /mnt/casper-snapshot
3) To be followed by a reboot:
sudo reboot
4) And I started it again with:
live persistent quickreboot
This time it only sees an empty /live_media directory, even though a
cat /proc/mounts
shows this:
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
none /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
none /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
/dev/sda1 /live_media vfat
rw,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
/dev/loop0 /filesystem.squashfs squashfs ro 0 0
tmpfs /cow tmpfs rw 0 0
unionfs / unionfs
rw,dirs=/cow=rw:/filesystem.squashfs=ro,debug=4294967295,delete=whiteout 0 0
tmpfs /cow tmpfs rw 0 0
unionfs /dev/.static/dev unionfs
rw,dirs=/cow=rw:/filesystem.squashfs=ro,debug=4294967295,delete=whiteout 0 0
tmpfs /lib/init/rw tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec 0 0
Is this a bug, or has the /live_media become non-visible on purpose?
