Migrating persistent overlay into the squashfs
by James Heather 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

I have a feeling that someone recently wrote something to allow you to migrate changes from the persistent overlay into the squashfs image, thus freeing up the space in the overlay. The obvious use case is: 1. Boot live USB stick 2. yum update (which will eat up lots of overlay space) 3. Run whatever it is, from a separate system, to recreate the squashfs image to take account of the changes (freeing up the overlay space again) But I can't find it. It doesn't seem to be in liveimage-mount. Did whatever it was make it into F15? If not, does anyone know what it is, where it is, how to use it, and whether it works? Thanks. James
