RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Dear Red Hat,
I am coming from the community: Scientific Linux 6.6 x64. I am trying to create a Live USB with persistence. Would one of our intrepid heroes please fix this for me?
The Stick is 16 GB. It is formatted as ext3.
# rpm -qa livecd-tools
livecd-tools-13.4.5-1.el6.x86_64
According to this:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/10/html/Release_Notes/sn-Live_USB_persistence.html
livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 512 /path/to/live.iso /dev/sdb1
"Replace /dev/sdb1 with the partition where you want to put the image.
Replace 512 with the desired size in megabytes of the persistent data, or overlay. The livecd-iso-to-disk shell script is stored in the LiveOS directory at the top level of the CD image. The USB media must have sufficient free space for the Fedora Live image, plus the overlay, plus any other data to be stored on the media."
This is my command line:
livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 13287 Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-21-5.iso /dev/sdc1
After booting off the Live USB, I get the following:
df -kPT /
Filesystem Type 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/mapper/live-rw ext4 3030800 2431496 551468 82% /
Means the persistence is set at the default of 3GB.
Many thanks,
-T
Just noticed that Fedora Code 21 is at "livecd-tools-21.5-1.fc21.src.rpm" and EL 6 is on 13.4.5-1.
You may be able to fix this bug by just recompiling 21.5.1
I tried it, but got a bunch of weird error I can't figure out so I really do need you guys.
Many thanks,
