dmsetup status
The value of live-rw is always 32008 for each boot. It goes up as the live environ is used but goes back to 32008 at boot so yeah definitely not persistent.
Since the failure is happening in dracut, is it possible the right component here is lorax? livemedia-creator may be naming things on the LiveISO differently than dracut is expecting is my current best guess. Proposed as a Blocker for 24-final by Fedora user chrismurphy using the blocker tracking app because: The release-blocking live images must properly support mounting and using a persistent storage overlay for the entire system and/or one for the /home partition. Discussed during the 2016-05-02 blocker review meeting. This is accepted per the current criterion which it definitely seems to violate but we note that this whole area has changed a lot with F24 and it may be that persistence is no longer supported. Need to check with developers for clarification crap. modified wrong bug, sorry for the noise. This should be fixed in the next build by this patch: https://github.com/rhinstaller/livecd-tools/commit/f2496cf4602f2e54f26422d13c40a036c697f6ab livecd-tools-23.3-1.fc24 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 24. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-16c46e44e1 livecd-tools-23.3-1.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-edcdaedcc0 livecd-tools-23.3-1.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 testing repository.

Created attachment 1137261 [details] journal Description of problem: The overlay fails to mount during boot, and dmsetup status shows the overlay space available is reset between boots (not persistent). I'm not sure if this is a setup problem with livecd-iso-to-disk or a dracut problem or if this feature is in effect deprecated (the live media still works, just no persistent overlay). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): livecd-tools-23.2-3.fc23 dracut-044-18.git20160108.fc24 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fedora 23 livecd-tools installed, and Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-24_Alpha-5.iso as source 2. livecd-iso-to-disk --noverify --format --reset-mbr --efi --overlay-size-mb 100 /brick1/downloads/Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-24_Alpha-5.iso /dev/sdb Actual results: [ 7.645444] localhost dracut-initqueue[540]: mount: /dev/sdb1 is already mounted or /run/initramfs/overlayfs busy [ 7.656169] localhost dracut-initqueue[540]: umount: /run/initramfs/overlayfs: not mounted Expected results: Should mount. Additional info: The grub.cfg boot param includes: root=live:UUID=D486-BF04 rd.live.image rd.live.overlay=UUID=D486-BF04 The path+name of the overlay file is /LiveOS/overlay-LIVE-D486-BF04 Snippets from the journal: [ 7.323769] localhost dracut-initqueue[540]: /sbin/dmsquash-live-root@80(main): mount -n -t auto -o ro /dev/disk/by-uuid/D486-BF04 /run/initramfs/live This is /dev/sdb1 mounted at /run/initramfs/live 7.625907] localhost dracut-initqueue[540]: /sbin/dmsquash-live-root@111(do_live_overlay): '[' -n UUID=D486-BF04 -a -n /LiveOS/overlay-LIVE-D486-BF04 -a -n UUID=D486-BF04 ']' [ 7.627756] localhost dracut-initqueue[540]: /sbin/dmsquash-live-root@112(do_live_overlay): mkdir -m 0755 /run/initramfs/overlayfs [ 7.629497] localhost dracut-initqueue[540]: /sbin/dmsquash-live-root@113(do_live_overlay): mount -n -t auto UUID=D486-BF04 /run/initramfs/overlayfs [ 7.645444] localhost dracut-initqueue[540]: mount: /dev/sdb1 is already mounted or /run/initramfs/overlayfs busy [ 7.647222] localhost dracut-initqueue[540]: /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /run/initramfs/live Since /dev/sdb1 is already mounted, it fails to mount again at /run/initramfs/overlayfs (different location).
