Hello all,
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). When booting, here's what I see on the screen:
mount: mounting /dev/sda on /root/lib/live/mount/persistence/sda failed: No such device [...snip...scans sdb sdc]
later I get:
mounting /live/medium on /root/lib/live/mount/medium failed: Invalid argument
and later:
Mount point '/root/lib/live/mount/persistence/sdb1' does not exist. Skipping mount ...
Am I doing something wrong somewhere in this process? If not, is there a work-around that I can use?
Thank you!
Josh

Sounds sane so far. Can you boot with debug=1 and provide the log file from /var/log/live/boot.log?

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 ...

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?

Evgeni - sorry for my very slow response. I will test this within a few days and write back.

I don't know what kind of persistence I'm using, I simply followed the wiki's instructions here:
http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=persistency
My persistence.conf looks exactly like the wiki's example.
grml2usb version is 0.13.4 installed on Debian Wheezy.
Is this helpful in any way? I'll get the debug information to you very soon. Thank you again for your help!
