So, not ideal for more long-term cases as if you're updating with yum, then you'll run out of space on your snapshot before you'd expect as we overwrite things multiple times[1].
I update my personal spin just by building it again but there maybe some cases where yum maybe used on a livecd for quick and small stuff.
Which brings me to what I've been working on this week -- persistence purely for /home[2]. So rather than using the persistence file for the snapshot backing store, we instead mount it as /home[3]. At this point, it's almost to where I'm happy enough with it to push, so stay tuned for more details :-)
That's great news! :D
[2] Actually, implemented such that you can have persistent changes for the "OS" as well as a persistent /home. Then your /home sticks around when you update the USB stick but any "OS" change disappear as with the present bits
So, this means changes in /etc files (for example) are lost?
[3] Including support for encryption
Sweeeet!
Thanks for your info!
