Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] persistence testing howto
by Mike Dickson
Guys,
I got a LiveCD + Persistence usb drive running from your scripts, but
got I/O errors if I tried to do a yum update.
Before that I was able to vi test.txt and put some text in and it
survived a reboot.
What can I do to address the i/o errors?

[Fedora-livecd-list]
by Thiago Braga Santana
Hello List.
I customizing the livecd of Fedora 6 you developed. I urgently need to
understand two parameters of the kernel. "LIVEINST" and "LIVEIMG", must
fully understand the usefulness of each.
Recently I discovered a problem with the livecd, a problem which affects the
software in the package lvm2, when do the livecd with bootparam "liveimg."
This is the error:
"
/sbin/lvm.static
Parse error at byte 996 (line 43) the expected value.
Failed to load config file /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
"
The detail is key: this problem only occurs when livecd run on computers
with hard drive-type SATA2.
However, the problem does not occur if I use the bootparam "liveist" instead
of "liveimg."
I need you to help me understand the concept of these two bootparam because
I believe I can help you fix this in the livecd CentOS.
Please do me respond as soon as possible.
Thank you.

f8 gripe#2: why did f8's pm-hibernate regress?
by Douglas McClendon
Can someone tell me if there is anything I can do to de-regress f8's
pm-hibernate?
What I mean is that it seems like in f7, pm-hibernate saved the kernel
buffer/filesystem caches as well as the minimal needed stuff. Now in
f8, every time I resume, system performance is crap because everything
needs to be read piecemeal from disk into the caches again.
My analysis is pure speculation based on my understanding of how you can
tune that behaviour with suspend2(tux-on-ice). But it is very noticable
and very annoying and very clearly a f7->f8 change.
