I cannot get persistency to work with grml 2013.02. I'm creating a live USB stick using grml2usb installed on my Debian Wheezy machine. Per the wiki, I create a 700 MB fat16 partition for grml and give the remaining space as an ext3 partition labeled "persistence". On the persistence partition is persistence.conf setup per the wiki. I execute grml2usb either with --bootoptions="persistence" or by choosing persistence from the menu at boot (same result).
Sounds sane so far. Can you boot with debug=1 and provide the log file from /var/log/live/boot.log?
When booting, here's what I see on the screen:
mount: mounting /dev/sda on /root/lib/live/mount/persistence/sdafailed: No such device
Expected, it tries too hard to mount sometimes :)
mounting /live/medium on /root/lib/live/mount/medium failed:Invalid argument
Mhh...
Mount point '/root/lib/live/mount/persistence/sdb1' does notexist. Skipping mount ...
Am I doing something wrong somewhere in this process? If not, is there a work-around that I can use?
What kind of persistence are you using? bind? union? link? Can you post your persistence.conf please.
What version of grml2usb are you using? The 0.12.2 from wheezy?
