iso: Mageia 8 beta 1 live plasma Put on stick using isodumper, with check mark for persistance Bug 27354 - Isodumper crash after creating persistence - but i believe it did all it should, because: When booted to desktop, dolphin left pane show a partition "/(overlay)" But when i put files there and reboot, files are gone. Also, system journal is not preserved.
fdisk -l output seem OK: Disk /dev/sdd: 119.2 GiB, 128035676160 bytes, 250069680 sectors Disk model: Voyager GTX Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 33553920 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sdd1 * 0 6765123 6765124 3.2G 0 Empty /dev/sdd2 6765124 6773315 8192 4M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32) /dev/sdd3 6815640 250069679 243254040 116G 83 Linux But it do not show up automatically when i put it in another computer running Mageia 7 Plasma, and i also can not mount it manually: [root@svarten mnt]# LC_ALL=C mount /dev/sdd3 /mnt/ext mount: /mnt/ext: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. gparted thinks it is just one iso9660 partiton covering the whole stick, but IIRC that is a known bug. Diskdrake do not show the stick at all, maybe same underlying bug. I repeated the tests for two different sticks from different manufacturers.
Created attachment 11899 [details] Full journal of boot, compressed Journal saved to another stick when booted to desktop

I suspect isodumper hasn't formatted your persistence partition. What is the output of blkid /dev/sdd3 In Mageia 7, diskdrake doesn't show a Live USB stick, but that should be fixed in Mageia 8.

Martin, as so often you are *double* correct! :) Yes, diskdrake did not execute mkfs.ext https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27354#c6 So i booted the laptop on another mga8 live stick, and used its diskdrake which as you said can see, format and name that partition on the first stick: ext4, "mgalive-persist". And now i find persistance do work, including journal. So now i am heading to get journal on Bug 25181 :)
