-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.
+.IP "\fBpersistent\fR" 4
+live\-boot will probe devices for persistent media. These can be partitions (with the correct GPT name), filesystems (with the correct label) or image/archive files (with the correct file name). Overlays are labeled/named either "full\-ov", which will be mounted on /, or "custom\-ov", which can be completely customized (see \fIlive.persist\fR(5)); snapshots are labeled/named either "live\-sn" or "home\-sn" and will be extracted into / or /home, respectively (see \fIlive\-snapshot\fR(1) for more information). The order these are handled are: full\-ov, custom\-ov, live-sn, home-sn. Overlay image files and snapshot archive files have extensions which determines their filesystem or archive type, e.g. "custom\-ov.ext3" and "\home\-sn.squashfs".
+.IP "\fBpersistent\-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 persistent 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 "\fBpersistent\-media\fR={\fIremovable\fR|\fIremovable\-usb\fR}" 4
+If you specify the keyword 'removable', live\-boot will try to find persistent and snapshot 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 "\fBpersistent\-method\fR=\fITYPE1\fR,\fITYPE2\fR ... \fITYPEn\fR" 4
+This option determines which types of persistent media we allow. If "overlay" is in the list, we consider overlays (i.e. "live\-rw" and "home\-rw"); if "snapshot" is in the list, we consider snapshots (i.e. "live\-sn" and "home\-sn"). The default is "overlay,snapshot".
