Hi,<br><br>I'm currently trying to develop <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/sdm">SDM</a>, a utility which will run on school lab computers and automaticaly detect when USB flash drives with SoaS are plugged in. The idea is that in a lab we don't want to have to fiddle with the BIOS, and want something like what the boothelper is doing but on the computers themselves. <br>
<br>Basically, we'd have a local copy of Fedora on the lab computers and would simply use the /home directories on the SoaS sticks. In order to do that, we need to mount the filesystem created by liveUSB (which contains /home). LiveUSB used and still uses persistant LVM overlays/snapshots, and based on my current understanding it is very difficult to mount a LVM snapshot outside of the host system. <br>
<br>The LiveUSB script has an option to create a normal home.img file, but this option is not exposed in the Windows GUI. The end result is that unless this option is used, the home dirtectory is inaccessable to SDM. <br clear="all">
<br>Is there something we can do to fix this, or am I missing something about how LVM works?<br><br>-- <br>Luke Faraone<br><a href="http://luke.faraone.cc">http://luke.faraone.cc</a><br>
