[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work

Feisty seems to contain a lot of blueprints about making udev play nicely with certain disk arrangements (i.e. LVM, EVMS). I'm wondering whether if and how casper was modified when scripts for e.g. udev were modified to run on the upstart (replacement init) model. (According to https://blueprints.

Sorry, it looks like pinning udev also causes dmsetup, hal, libdevmapper1.02, and volumeid to be held back. So, I guess it could be any of those or something about the way they work together. Maybe it is somehow related to the elimination of dmsetup? -- feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode do

Some interesting new information (at least interesting to me). Ignoring the unionfs issue for the moment, I played around with the pinned files. I found out that persistence works if I only pin the following 4 files: Package: udev Pin: version 093-0ubuntu18.0edgy2 Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: ups

Gutsy Alpha 20070612 today's daily build tried persistent several times. Once it actually loaded the ubuntu system folders into the USB device, however it didn't save a text file on home, and I couldn't get persistent to do anything since, or on another computer either. Cheers, Jerry -- feisty 2

Gutsy Alpha persistent doesn't work as far as I can tell. The Alpha is still a bit shaky (not to ship until October) and may not be solid enough to work on Cal's persistent fix. Sure would appreciate it if the developers could look at this too. Thanks! Jerry -- feisty 20070210/herd5 persist

Okay--now I'm getting somewhere. I think the problem is 7.04 is using an incompatible version of Unionfs. I don't have much time to work on this so maybe we can regroup in the forums--and it's probably best not to clutter this bug report while we work on a fix. Please see my posting for more inf

Looks like I've been a bit too optimistic. I found a Herd 3 image and applied the same procedure as described by Cal.

[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work

Cal, that's interesting. The problem was not present in Feisty Herd 3. If someone could copy vmlinuz and initrd.gz from a Herd 3 CD to /usb and /usb/casper , it may cure the problem with less side-effects than you experienced. I might even be a viable workaround altogether. It's really annoying tha

I've been playing with the Xubuntu 7.04 CD and a 4GB flash stick. I suspect this bug is a 7.04 kernel/module problem. Quite simply, persistence is borked because unionfs isn't loading. (Just type "mount" and you'll see "unionfs on / type (rw)" is missing and you can confirm it with "lsmod | grep

[Bug 84591] Re: feisty 20070210/herd5 persistent mode doesn't work

One other interesting point. I didn't make this clear in my earlier posts, but it looks like you may need to use the new manifests and squashed filesystem with the files from the herd3 iso (rather than with the files from Feisty final iso) to get it to work. I tried using the exact same manifests

Great news! Mike, maybe we could get this hybrid Herd3/5 LiveCD circulating as a torrent? I've never done that before, but it's not rocket science. We just need you to seed it (recent versions of Azureus have a built-in tracker) and send us the torrent. I'll gladly keep it seeding from my Linux
