Mike, Thanks for the info. I tried cloning a drive as per your instructions below and it worked flawlessly. Still, copying the files using cp -rf seems to corrupt them during the copy process. Also, I blew away the casper-rw partition after cloning and ended up with the same issues I had before (th

Here is another thought. I'm not confident at all that the problem is with shutting down the system at all. I've noticed that files created on the pendrive when running from the pendrive are often corrupt. One of the things I use pendirive linux for is downloading podcasts while on the road. Often

It's been so long since I looked at this, I don't remember for sure, but I think there are actually 3 upstart files that need to pinned at the edgy level. I used aptitude to downgrade, so whenever I pinned one, the other two were downgraded automatically. But, you may want to make sure all three

I ended up following Mikes? advice and used ext3 instead of ext2 for both the casper-rw and the home-rw partitions. I also followed the instructions for removing the eject cd message and the instructions here ( http://www.atworkonline.it/~bibe/ubuntu/custom-livecd.htm) to customize the installation

I get the same error on Tribe3. I think I mentioned this, but just to be sure, I am booting into persistent mode. I am using a "Live USB" that I create in accordance with the Ubuntu Wiki. It is a 4GB Drive. My casper-rw partition is a little over 2GB. I did also try a different USB drive and go
