+.IP \fBpersistence\fP 4
+live\-boot will probe devices for persistence 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\fP(5)); snapshots are labeled/named
-either "live\-sn" or "home\-sn" and will be extracted into / or /home,
-respectively (see \fIlive\-snapshot\fP(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

If you specify the keyword 'removable', live\-boot will try to find

+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"); if "snapshot" is in the list, we consider snapshots
(i.e. "live\-sn" and "home\-sn"). The default is "overlay,snapshot".

live\-boot will look for persistency files in the root directory of a

have multiple directories on the same partition to store persistency files.

+Filesystem changes are not saved back to persistence media. In particular,

resynced on shutdown.

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".
