Bug ID: 1358932
Summary: How to create an USB stick with overlay persistence
with graphical tools?
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: install-guide
Assignee: cspicer(a)redhat.com
Reporter: razvan.sandu(a)mobexpert.ro
QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
CC: pbokoc(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co
Hello,
Description of problem:
The online guide at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Data_persis...
which is installation-related, describes how to create a Fedora bootable USB
stick using the graphical tool liveusb-creator with overlay persistence.
However, the current graphical tool available in Fedora (called "Fedora Media
Writer") offers no obvious option (button, slider, etc.) for adding an overlay
persistence space to the official .iso image.
Actual results:
The current graphical tool offers no option of adding overlay persistence to an
.iso image that is written on an USB stick.
Expected results:
The tool should offer such an option, in order to easily create USB bootable
sticks with persistence. The existing documentation should be consistent with
the actual tool.
Additional info:
IMHO, adopting and documenting a STANDARD set of tools (graphical & CLI), as
DISTRO-INDEPENDENT (cross-distro) as possible, for the (easy) creation of
bootable USB sticks (including overlay) is the way to go.
