<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">That is much improved, but it may still
leave a question in the reader's mind. I'd change the page myself
(assuming I can), but I don't want to embed false information. I
mean, I use livecd-tools a LOT, but to say I'm an expert for all of its
use cases would be quite a stretch. So, I'd propose something like
this:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3><b>Critical limitation</b><br>
LiveOS overlays are employed as write-once files, which always consume
space—never releasing space for reuse. Should the overlay storage space,
whether temporary or persistent, be totally consumed, the system will likely
crash with Input/output or Bus errors. If such a crash does occur
while using temporary storage space for the overlay, a simple reboot will
rectify the situation. With persistent storage the situation is more
dire and will require ... (I don't know this case at all). In either
case, achieving the reboot likely will require a hard reset since attempting
a software initiated reboot will probably fail with more Input/output or
Bus errors.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thank you for improving this page! It
would be awesome to get knowledge unique to this page incorporated back
into the appropriate man pages too.<br>
