-.IP "\fBpersistent\fR[={nofiles|cryptsetup}]" 4
-live\-boot will look for persistent and snapshot partitions or files labeled "live\-rw", "home\-rw", and files called "live\-sn*", "home\-sn*" and will try to, in order: mount as /cow the first, mount the second in /home, and just copy the contents of the latter in appropriate locations (snapshots). Snapshots will be tried to be updated on reboot/shutdown. Look at live\-snapshot(1) for more informations.
-.br
-If "nofiles" is specified, only filesystems with matching labels will be searched; no filesystems will be traversed looking for archives or image files. This results in shorter boot times.
-.br
-If "cryptsetup" is specified, filesystems stored on Luks\-encrypted devices will be considered as well as others when searching for a persistence filesystem; the user will be prompted for any needed decryption passphrase.

+live\-boot will probe devices for persistence media. These can be partitions (with the correct GPT name), filesystems (with the correct label) or image files (with the correct file name). Overlays are labeled/named "persistence" (see \fIpersistence.conf\fR(5)). Overlay image files are named "persistence".
+.IP "\fBpersistence\-encryption\fR=\fITYPE1\fR,\fITYPE2\fR ... \fITYPEn\fR" 4
+This option determines which types of encryption that we allow to be used when probing devices for persistence media. If "none" is in the list, we allow unencrypted media; if "luks" is in the list, we allow LUKS\-encrypted media. Whenever a device containing encrypted media is probed the user will be prompted for the passphrase. The default value is "none".
+.IP "\fBpersistence\-media\fR={\fIremovable\fR|\fIremovable\-usb\fR}" 4
+If you specify the keyword 'removable', live\-boot will try to find persistence partitions on removable media only. Note that if you want to further restrict the media to usb mass storage only, you can use the 'removable\-usb' keyword.
+.IP "\fBpersistence\-method\fR=\fITYPE1\fR,\fITYPE2\fR ... \fITYPEn\fR" 4
+This option determines which types of persistence media we allow. If "overlay" is in the list, we consider overlays (i.e. "live\-rw" and "home\-rw"). The default is "overlay".
