=====Notes on Live File Systems=====

*Technical Discussion of Live USB's:  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Data_Persistence
::Limited Lifetime of Persistent Overlay
One very important note about using the "primary" persistent overlay for system changes is that due to the way it's currently implemented (as a LVM copy-on-write snapshot),
every single change to it (writes AND deletes) subtracts from its free space, so it will eventually be "used up" and your USB stick will no longer boot.
Because of these limitations, it is advisable to use the system-level persistence sparingly, for configuration changes and important security updates only.
For a truly persistent write-many (vs write-once) overlay, use the --home-size-mb option to create a home directory filesystem image for personal files.
Unlike the primary system overlay image, the home.img can be re-used and loop mounted outside of the liveusb environment.
=====Cautions with u3 USB sticks=====
*'''USB sticks with u3 partition will not boot with liveusb-creator'''
* '''CAUTION:''' Formatting the USB-stick will not remove the hidden (virtual CD-ROM drive)
* How to remove hidden u3 partition
