I havn't tried aufs on Debian yet. However, in another approach, I managed to implement a cow-persistency without using a 'casper-rw' partition. Instead, I created a script located in the '/etc/cron.hourly' directory. The script uses casper-snapshot and copies the result to the /live_media, where /live_media is re-mounted as rw. Works pretty well, except for some growing files like '/etc/mtab' or some unwanted log files in the /var/log. It would be nice if the 'casper-snapshot' had a working '--exclude-list' option, it seems to be disabled at the moment. Will the 'live-initramfs' package support this option again?
