Hi All,
Anyone know any rumors as to if we are going to be able to have more than 4 GB of persistence in the future? Ext2/3/4 perhaps?
It is really difficult to discipline myself to keep it under 4 GB.
Many thanks, -T
Overlays greater than 4 GiB are available now with ext4 formatting of the Live CD device.
For example,
livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --format --overlay-size-mb 10000 home-size-mb 1024 --unencrypted-home /path/to/iso /dev/sde
produces a Live CD with a 10485760000 byte overlay file.
