Hi mika,
Thanks you for your detailed wiki: Persistency on grml http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=persistency
I got it working after following your detailed instructions. However, I found that you've mixed the two cases. The wiki should read:
To use the persistency feature you need
* either a writeable partition with label 'live-rw' * or execute the command 'live-snapshot' then follow the instructions.
I.e., both method can get you the persistent feature, but either one is enough. you don't need both. For 'live-rw' partition, checking whether the live snapshot is included by running 'mount | grep live-snapshot' does not apply,
Moreover, if you have a writeable partition with label 'live-rw', then having another 'home-rw' one is not necessary unless you want to.
cheers

Right, the documentation isn't 100% precise.

Oh, seems I've mixed something up - I've to recheck that.
Moreover, if you have a writeable partition with label 'live-rw', then having another 'home-rw' one is not necessary unless you want to.
Right.
Tong, please feel free to adjust the wiki page. Adjust whatever should be adjusted - either because it's not precise enough, not fully covered yet or maybe just wrong. Thanks for any help!

thanks for the feedback mika.

Hmm... I always hesitate doing that. 99.99% of time you are correct and more knowledgeable than me, so firing up a quick email will always be my number one choice. Even if I feel that I'm right, I need to gather up enough confident to correct your wiki, so the issues might never be fixed.
Thanks all the same.
cheers

Sending emails is not a bad thing per se, but... If the email you're sending would include a proposal for an improved wording, that would life some work off of mika's busy shoulders. :)
