<br>
Persistence still doesn't work.<br>
<br>
I just opened up<br>

I will quote it here:<br>
<br>
Dear Red Hat,<br>
<br>
I am coming from the community: Scientific Linux 6.6 x64. I am trying to create a Live USB with persistence. Would one of our intrepid heroes please fix this for me?<br>
<br>
The Stick is 16 GB. It is formatted as ext3.<br>
<br>
# rpm -qa livecd-tools<br>
livecd-tools-13.4.5-1.el6.x86_64<br>
<br>
<br>
According to this:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/10/html/Release_Notes/sn-Live_USB_persistence.html" target="_blank">https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/10/html/Release_Notes/sn-Live_USB_persistence.html</a><br>
<br>
livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 512 /path/to/live.iso /dev/sdb1<br>
<br>
"Replace /dev/sdb1 with the partition where you want to put<br>
the image. Replace 512 with the desired size in megabytes<br>
of the persistent data, or overlay. The livecd-iso-to-disk<br>
shell script is stored in the LiveOS directory at the top<br>
level of the CD image. The USB media must have sufficient<br>
free space for the Fedora Live image, plus the overlay,<br>
plus any other data to be stored on the media."<br>
<br>
This is my command line:<br>
<br>
livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 13287 Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-21-5.iso /dev/sdc1<br>
<br>
<br>
After booting off the Live USB, I get the following:<br>
df -kPT /<br>
Filesystem Type 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on<br>
/dev/mapper/live-rw ext4 3030800 2431496 551468 82% /<br>
<br>
Means the persistence is set at the default of 3GB.<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
