Package: live-boot Version: 1:20230131 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
since the fix_ for #934701_, live boot is no longer considering the partition mounted e.g. on /run/live/medium even when looking for persistence partition image files (as opposed to persistence on regular partitions). It is my understanding that those would not fall under the case of The devices that are hosting the actual live rootfs should not be used for persistence storage since otherwise you might mount a parent directory on top of a sub-directory of the same filesystem in one union together. as described in the comment_ in the code that is doing the check, and thus they could be safely considered. Is it correct, or am I missing something? .. _fix: https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-boot/-/commit/ce7770b39f38d08bef557b67496c167499c0e3f4 .. _#934701: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=934701 .. _comment: https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-boot/-/blob/ce7770b39f38d08bef557b67496c167499c0e3f4/components/9990-misc-helpers.sh#L1076 My usecase is that I'm running a system with multiple versions of a live system, each one of which has its own versioned /live directory with kernel etc. files, filesystem.squashfs *and* a persistence image file. This used to work up to bullseye, but has stopped working under bookworm, with the fixed version of live-boot. Would this be considered a valid usecase? In case it can be useful, what I'm doing is available online at https://github.com/Truelite/modian , where the -full-examples reproduce the issue. Thanks in advance
