::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.
