.SH NAME
\fBlive\-boot\fP \- System Boot Skripte
option has no currently no effect when booting with toram.
.IP \fBswapon\fP 4
This parameter enables usage of local swap partitions.
-.IP \fBpersistent\fP[={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.
+.IP \fBpersistent\fP 4
+live\-boot will probe filesystems for persistent media. These can either be
+the filesystems themselves, if labeled correctly, or image/archive files, if
+named correctly. Overlays are labeled/named either "live\-rw" or "home\-rw"
+and will be mounted on / or /home, respectively; snapshots are labeled/named
+either "live\-sn" or "home\-sn" and will be extracted into / or /home,
+respectively (see live\-snapshot(1) for more information). Overlays are
+mounted before snapshots are extracted, and for both overlays and snapshots,
+"live\-*" are handled before "home\-*". Overlay image files and snapshot
+archive files have extensions which determines their filesystem or archive
+type, e.g. "live\-rw.ext3" and "\home\-sn.squashfs".
+.IP "\fBpersistent\-encryption\fP=\fITYPE1\fP,\fITYPE2\fP ... \fITYPEn\fP" 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\fP={\fIremovable\fP|\fIremovable\-usb\fP} 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\fP=\fITYPE1\fP,\fITYPE2\fP ... \fITYPEn\fP" 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".
.IP \fBpersistent\-path\fP=\fIPATH\fP 4
live\-boot will look for persistency files in the root directory of a
partition, with this parameter, the path can be configured so that you can
have multiple directories on the same partition to store persistency files.
+.IP \fBpersistent\-read\-only\fP 4
+Filesystem changes are not saved back to persistent media. In particular,
+overlays and netboot NFS mounts are mounted read\-only, and snapshots are not
+resynced on shutdown.
+.IP "\fBpersistent\-storage\fP=\fITYPE1\fP,\fITYPE2\fP ... \fITYPEn\fP" 4
+This option determines which types of persistent storage to consider when
+probing for persistent media. If "filesystem" is in the list, filesystems
+with matching labels will be used; if "file" is in the list, all filesystems
+will be probed for archives and image files with matching filenames. The
+default is "file,filesystem".
.IP \fBpersistent\-subtext\fP=\fISUFFIX\fP 4
Add a suffix when searching for the image filenames or partition labels to
use for the above mentioned persistent feature, the SUFFIX will be added
