Hello...... This project is really fantastic. I'm building a little data server with postgresql. This machine has two compactflash as Master and Slave IDE. In Master compactflash there is a custom DebianLive image, and in slave compactflash there is a cluster postgresql that is mounted on "/home/postgres".
As you suppose, I want a persistent /home directory. Well!! All work fine... except snapshot!!! I don't know if I do something bad or, in fact, I don't understand. If I label /dev/hdb1 like "home-rw", all work right... but is flash memory.. bad idea. I need snapshots!!! With live system running I do "live-snapshot -d /dev/hdb1" and live-sn.cpio.gz is saved on /dev/hdb1 with all data cluster. But if I do "live-snapshot -f" or "reboot", live-sn.cpio.gz is saved with nothing and all persistent data is deleted. In that moment I boot again and live-snapshot is found but live media has a clean /home. What I'm doing wrong?? What label is needed for /dev/hdb1? This are boot options: boot=live ip=frommedia noautologin locale=es quickreboot username=postgres hostname=DATA union=aufs persistent On live media /etc/live.conf has this line: export ROOTSNAP=/root:/dev/hdb1:live-sn.cpio.gz I build live systems on lenny (live-helper 1.0.3-2 and live-initramfs 1.156.1+1.157.2-1) and squezee (live-helper 1.0.5-2 and live-initramfs 1.157.4-1)distros and get the same problem. I build lenny images, with a few packages (htop mc less ssh whois postgresql). If you need more details, let me know!! I think that it must be a triviality... somebody help me please XD...
