[Bug 302485] [NEW] No persistence with USB Creator in Ubuntu 8.10

2008-11-26 Thread Slyron
Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, with all the latest updates.

My problem is I cannot get Ubuntu on a USB "WITH" persistence. USB
Creator GUI works fine and does in fact install Ubuntu. It boots fine,
but basically I only get a LiveCD type functionality out of it. If I try
saving anything in the home folder, the USB becomes unbootable. The
error message at startup says "Push F1 to retry boot"

Has anyone else noticed this? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

I think that some USB flash drives will work for this and others will
not. When I originally filed this bug report, I used an 8gig PNY
attache'

later on I tried with a 16gig Corsair flash voyager and it worked
fine... persistence and all.

I guess they are planning on relying on the ext4 filesystem right? B/c I
think you can have huge single files. I'm not sure about that at all
though.
