Description of problem: Adding "live_ram" makes impossible mounting of persistent home. Obviously, after the image is loaded to ram, the partition is "ejected" and is not visible for mounting home. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Livecd-tools 17.11 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create any standard livecd (Gnome or Kde) on vfat or ext4 partition of usb stick 2. When booting, press "Tab" and add "live_ram" to kernel parameters Actual results: If usb stick partition is vfat, everything boots, but the /home is not mounted to the persistent home.img file. If usb stick partition is ext4, the boot process stop with some messages udevd[330 <or 336 or 338>]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda1,10): failed: no such file or directory dracut warning: unable to process the initqueue dracut warning: /dev/disk/by-uuid/... does not exist Expected results: LiveOS/home.img from usb stick is mapped to /dev/loopN and the encryption partition is mounted through /dev/mapper/EncHome to /home Additional info: Tested on several usb sticks (usb 2.0, usb 3.0) and different configurations of .ks files (basic, gnome, kde, custom).

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
