Description Răzvan Sandu 2016-11-18 19:12:09 UTC 
Description of problem:

Fedora Media Writer should offer the option of creating persistence (overlay) space when writing a bootable .iso file on a USB drive.

That means: when the USB drive is larger than the .iso file being written, the rest of the space would be writeable, in order to accommodate user files.

If the bootable image is a Live disk, "user files" includes RPM package updates and various config files for a personalised live SO.


Thanks!

Hi,
you're right. This would be a good option to include in the Media Writer. I'm tentatively planning to add this some time in the future.
