The label helps to identify the write device on reboot * use parted instead of fdisk. fdisk is not suitable when adding partitions to the GPT, use kiwi's createPartitionerInput method * fixed clicfs cow file check, check clicfs only if clicfs is used, with the move to overlayfs there is a choice now * search for persistent write partition by a blkid label search and don't actually mount/umount the partition by label * syslinux >= 4.04 is required to make all this work correctly -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

but facing similar issue it made my usb unbootable

This problem was discovered too late for M2. You can wait for M3 and test whether the fix works. I'll be doing that. If you are looking for a workaround, then check Dale's post at the forum: https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/pre-release-beta... I have tested that, and it works. I made a live Gnome USB. I then used "fdisk" to create two additional partitions (partition 3 and partition 4). To do that you must be careful to tell fdisk to start the new partition after the current one. Don't accept the default of it being before partition 1. I made partition 3 minimal (2047 sectors), and partition 4 the rest of the USB. I formatted partition 4 as "ext4". The idea of the additional partitions is to fill the partition table, so that a desctructive partition cannot be created. I have booted this USB twice on a UEFI box and twice on a non-UEFI box, just to test that it does not self-destruct. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
