Any way to ADD persist{a,e}nce to *RUNNING* Live USB Ubuntu (19.04)? NO casper-rw present.
by !!! from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50KC0)
I'm RUNNING live and want to SAVE some stuff I've done (install sysdig)
(Meaning: I don't want to reboot!!! btw, I'm not sure how USB was written [by someone else], sorry)
Is it possible? Hints? (or cookbook!)
I spelled it wrong {a} and found:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/9558...ble-flashdrive
I then spelled it correctly {e} and found a bunch of obscure stuff...
There are 191 casper files, like /etc/casper.conf /var initramfs-tools ...
(but NO casper-rw)
Here's some output: Code:ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo updatedb; locate casper-rw
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 14.4 GiB, 15483273216 bytes, 30240768 sectors

P.S. Obviously, there's a LOT I don't know about persistence,
(and [YUMI!!! but not this one] 'live' pendrives),
so I ask patience!!! Thanks In Advance!!! Tutorial links welcome!!!
