Yes. This is only limited by the fact that opensolaris(and belenix) currently support only ufs and fat32 as read write. (ntfs and ext3 is read only). thus we could initially probe for ufs and fat32 and use these for saveback.. and fat32 could also be read by windows. I have been considering this, as this will allow even LiveCDs to have session persistence. > > User creation / home dir (/export?) This can be done on the hard disk. However not on the USB, as flash memory is not good for lots of read-write (and has much leser life than disks). This is the reason we are tarring up the changes using session-shutdown and not directly mounting /root/ on the usb. > User login This does not make sense in a LiveCD/USB environment as the holder of the USB simply has complete control of the OS (and thus being root). Is there any particular reason you're looking for user login? > Package install mounting /opt/ and /opt/csw on the USB should allow for this. I am experimenting with this.. the main concern is that blastwave pulls in a lot of dependancies that are already present in the base /usr/. we can perhaps create a minimal set of packages for use in Livemedia? > Zones , what about pre-installed linux zone I haven't played around with these much, and don't know what files are touched.

The workaround in your case is to 'mkdir /mnt/saveback/sessions' and try again. Without this script working, your firefox/thunderbird settings wont be saved back (all of it is in the backup.tar file generated. you can manually copy it from /tmp/ to /mnt/saveback/common for now) Cheers Anil
