Persistence Live System

 My image is 6GB so I can't covert it to ISO and use the regular startup disk application.

Possible, easy with ISO and Startup Disk Creator. Maybe possible too with writed .sblive, but it manually.

From 240052 'If the '.sblive' file size is larger than 4 GB, the '.iso' conversion is not possible. This is a filesystem limit.'

My image is 6GB and 'Convert to ISO' does not get enable.

How can I use 'Startup Disk Creator' with a .sblive image?

Yeah, because ISO creating isn't possible, but 'Startup Disk Creator' is compatible only with ISO.
I'll look into it, and I'll explain tomorrow to see how to do things manually.

I tested this methode:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence#Creating_the_.22casper-rw.22_File_System

and this:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence#Using_a_Loopback_File

Both work perfectly with USB writed Systemback Live system. Just edit the syslinux/syslinux.cfg and boot/grub/grub.cfg files, add 'persistent' word to kernel parameters.

Hi Kendek. Is there any chance you would consider adding this as a feature of Systemback. I think it would be very well received.

Alternatively, is there any way that you could provide a little more detail on how to do it manually? I am happy to do so, but could not figure it out from the links....

Just create the loopback file on the pendrive, using the dd and the mkfs commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mount/point/casper-rw bs=1M count=<number of megabytes>
mkfs.ext4 /mount/point/casper-rw

And add the 'persistent' word to the syslinux/syslinux.cfg and the boot/grub/grub.cfg:
syslinux.cfg:
append boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz persistent ...
grub.cfg:
linux /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper persistent ...

Where on the pendrive? Systemback creates two partitions: SBLIVE and SBROOT. Is it on one of those, or somewhere else?

Sorry, the previous post was referring to where to create the loopback file on the pendrive. This is all assuming that this is done AFTER creating the live usb in systemback.

I figured out "a" way to do it. Not sure it is the "right" way, but I wanted to post it:

1) Create a Systemback live system and write it to a USB drive
2) Open Gparted and resize the partition called /SBLIVE. Just give yourself enough room on the remaining empty space to create a new partition that you will use for persistence: anywhere from 1GB to 4GB should be fine.
3) Create a new ext4 partition in the empty space at the end of the USB drive. Name it "casper-rw" (Gparted will name it "CASPER-RW", so after exiting Gparted, in terminal type "sudo e2label /dev/<yournewpartitionnumber> casper-rw ," where /dev/yournewpartitionnumber is something like /dev/sdb3/.
4) Create a persistent area in the new partition, using terminal: dd if=/dev/zero of='/media/USERNAME/casper-rw' bs=1M count=4500 (this is for 4.5GB).
5) In terminal mkfs.ext3 /media/USERNAME/casper-rw
6) Open /SBLIVE/syslinux/syslinux.cfg and add the word "persistent" (no quotes) to the boot stanza for Boot Live System
7) Open /SBLIVE/boot/grub/grub.cfg and add the word "persistent" (no quotes) to the boot stanza for Boot Live System

That worked for me. The first time I booted into this persistent mode the system was slow. The second boot was typical speed.

Minor correction:

2) Open Gparted and resize the partition called /SBROOT

Working Perfectly with ISO

Yes, it is possible to create a persistence live system from a sblive image using assignment writing help. Persistence in a live system refers to the ability to save changes made to the system during the live session and retain them upon reboot. This can be achieved by creating a persistence file or partition on the sblive image, which allows for the storage of any changes made to the system during the live session. This can be useful for users who need to make temporary changes to the system without affecting the original image. However, it is important to note that creating a persistence live system may require some technical knowledge and assistance from assignment writing help resources.
