I always wanted to have the 2nd parition as real file system, but Marcus did not like that. But as you're the only one to complain, I don't think it's worth fixing - but maybe marcus has more input. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The hybridpersistent option automatically will search on the stick if it is possible to create another linux partition. The process also creates a real filesystem (ext2) which is visible under the linux. The copy-on-write data are written into a file. Coolo you requested that some time ago and we implemented it :-) I'm not aware of any partition which is "destroyed" as mentioned in the report. As I said it is tried to create a new partition with a filesystem on it if that fails the copy-on-write data is written temporary in RAM We also can think of creating a vfat filesystem instead of ext2 so other operating systems can see that as a data container. But I was told that Windows only evaluated the first partition of a USB stick and is not able to look at other partitions which is a bad behavior imho -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
